Are you referring to this reg pasted below?Originally Posted by Leecatt
Subregulation (1) shall not apply to an electrical installation that existed prior to 23 October 1992, and where there was no change of ownership after 1 March 1994: Provided that, if any addition or alteration is effected to such an electrical installation, the user or lessor of the electrical installation, as the case may be, shall obtain a certificate of compliance for the whole electrical installation, whereafter the provisions of subregulation (1) shall be applicable to such electrical installation.
It does not mean that we need to test the complete installation for free - What we do need to do is notify the owner that he does not have a certificate for the installation and give a price to carry out the testing needed - If he does not accept the quotation then the responsibility falls onto them.The responsibilty to get the certifiate falls onto them the minute the ask somebody to do any work and knowingly dont have a COC for the complete installation
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.
