You understand perfectly, Chris.
I have no intention of "signing off" another persons work; I simply want to be clear about exactly what I need to do to leave the customer with a safe and compliant installation.
It seems from posts above that I can fulfil my professional responsibilities without notifying the installation to building control and, -for the very reasons stated and UNDERLINED by Vee- that is something I would prefer to avoid.
I have been called to a property with 2 appliances that have been turned off and classified "At Risk", and asked by the customer to -if possible- correct the faults and recommission the appliances.
I just want to be clear that if I do that (assuming, as stated above, it is possible) and ONLY that, but do not address the "non Gas-Safe" related defects, that I am not leaving myself open to charges of incompetence or penalties in the event of a future inspection...
