JLEC Electrical Ltd. Leeds Bradford Electrical Installations - Access Control - Maintenance - CCTV - Lighting - ElectriciansNICEIC
J.L.E.C are fully qualified to supply and issue NICEIC Completion certificates, Periodic Inspection certificates, Fire Alarm certificates, Emergency lighting certificates, and Minor Work certificates.
All the above are carried out by qualified electrical contractors also with further qualification on inspection and testing. This particularly field of the business is growing in demand as commercial and industrial premises are requiring periodic inspection with NICEIC Certification. NICEIC Enrolement No: 22126
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION CERTIFICATE
- BS 7671 requires that an Electrical Installation Certificate is issued for all new electrical installation work - such safety certification is not an optional extra for electrical work conforming to BS 7671.
- On an NICEIC Electrical Installation Certificate the Approved Contractor’s full enrolment number should be shown within the “construction” box on page 2 of the certificate.
- The Electrical Installation Certificate is not intended to be issued to confirm the completion of a contract.
- The certificate is a declaration of electrical safety which should be issued before an installation is put into service.
- The certificate should not be withheld for contractual reasons, especially if the electrical installation is available for use.
OTHER CERTIFICATES AND REPORT FORMS
The Electrical Installation Certificate is used only for the initial certification of a new installation, or new work associated with an alteration or addition to an existing installation. The Minor Works Certificate is used for an alteration, addition or extension to one existing circuit only. Neither certificate is used for an inspection and report on the condition of an existing installation, for which a Periodic Inspection Report form should be used.
PERIODIC INSPECTION REPORT (Fixed Wire Testing)
Always use an NICEIC Approved Contractor
The Periodic Inspection Report is used to report on the safety condition of an existing installation, and should not be used to certify new work or work carried out by others.
It is important to appreciate that a PIR in itself is not a safety certificate. It is a report on the condition of the installation and Box E on page 1 should describe the overall condition as either “satisfactory”, in which case no immediate remedial works are required, or “unsatisfactory” which means urgent remedial works are needed to make the installation safe to use.
If a PIR describes the installation as “unsatisfactory” the next thing to look at is Box F on page 2 “Observations and recommendations for actions to be taken”. This is where any departures from BS 7671 are recorded, and a code to indicate the urgency of the action needed is given.
Code 1 indicates a dangerous, or potentially dangerous, condition that requires immediate and urgent attention to make the installation safe, and should be corrected without delay, and the appropriate certificate issued confirming that the work has been carried out in accordance with BS 7671.
