a mate of mine has just rung with a query regarding certification.
he is a plasterer/tiler, he also does plumbing work and he’s thinking about fitting bathrooms, full time.
the company he’s been talking to said he needs this certification, or he will need to get someone in to certify his work. he asked me about this, but i haven’t a clue.
does anyone on here have experience of this?
is there a course he can attend?
if so, how long is the course? any replies would be most welcome.
cheers.Re: electrical certification
Hi Alf,
In the IEE regs there is a great deal to do with the earthing & cross bonding of water pipes and any metal work especially in bathrooms i.e metal towel rails and radiators and the like. You might at first thought think “Well how does this affect a plumber ?” The problem arises when things like plastic water pipes and joints are introducuded to an existing installation, as they can have a detremental effect on the saftey and effectivness of the earthing on the installation. So to be safe it would be best to direct your friend to the nearest college of further education who can advise him of any statutory courses he may need to take to safely carry out this type of work. They can also adivse him of any training grants that may be available.
HTH
