Now i'm going to get my a*se kicked!
I've led you all down the wrong path by mistake, but no-one picked it up, so in my defence perhaps were all bozo's.
The above quote (3) says that if the house existed prior to 23/10/1992 then it does not need a coc, UNTILL an addition or alteration takes place then the
whole house needs to be certified. That makes sense, you cant make a coc just for the addition if you have no original coc to add it onto.
By inference, if the house existed after 23/10/1992, then it must already be covered by an existing, VALID certificate provided of course that regular maintenance was performed.
Thereafter, subsection (4) should take precedence (and in my wisdom I neglected to add it on before)
(4)
Where any addition or alteration has been effected to an electrical installation for which a certificate of compliance was previously issued, the user or lessor of such electrical installation shall obtain a certificate of compliance for at least the addition or alteration.
So,in my opinion, little has changed from before and I think i'm right this time.
