I had the opportunity to talk to the AIA and the ECA in regards to this matter.

Will try and answer this in more detailed answer over the weekend when I have more time.

Need to go back on call recordings to get the exact points of reference.

Basically it comes down to that you have to implement the whole SANS 10142-1 when conducting a section4.13(b) Test and inspection with intent to issue a certicate of compliance. And for that matter you will always implement the whole SANS 10142-1 and any other additional regulations as required for given situation except where clearly indicated otherwise.

Also the installatio of an earthing terminal for other services is a safety aspect and is required to be installed even if on a test and inspection CoC. Will also get more into detail on the reason why this would be seen as a safety concern.

Wish our industry as with ECSA would post case studies to help people get a better insight into the regulations and implementation there of.

The conversations with the AIA is always insightfull as he shares some of his cases he doesn't have a non desclosure agreement with.
