  SCHEDULES (note 2)
  The attached Schedules are part of this document and this Certificate is valid only when they are attached to it.
  ............ Schedules of Inspections and ............ Schedules of Test Results are attached.
  (Enter quantities of schedules attached).
GUIDANCE FOR RECIPIENTS
This safety Certificate has been issued to confirm that the electrical installation work to which it relates has been designed, constructed, inspected and tested in accordance with
British Standard 7671 (The IEE Wiring Regulations).
You should have received an original Certificate and the contractor should have retained a duplicate Certificate. If you were the person ordering the work, but not the owner of the
installation, you should pass this Certificate, or a full copy of it including the schedules, immediately to the owner.
The "original" Certificate should be retained in a safe place and be shown to any person inspecting or undertaking further work on the electrical installation in the future. If you
later vacate the property, this Certificate will demonstrate to the new owner that the electrical installation complied with the requirements of British Standard 7671 at the time the
Certificate was issued. The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations require that for a project covered by those Regulations, a copy of this Certificate, together with
schedules is included in the project health and safety documentation.
For safety reasons, the electrical installation will need to be inspected at appropriate intervals by a competent person. The maximum time interval recommended before the next
inspection is stated on Page 1 under "Next Inspection".
This Certificate is intended to be issued only for a new electrical installation or for new work associated with an addition or alteration or to an existing installation. It should not
have been issued for the inspection of an existing electrical installation. A "Periodic Inspection Report" should be issued for such an inspection.
The Certificate is only valid if a Schedule of Inspections and Schedule of Test Results are appended.
                                                                                                                                                                                   Page 2 of         (note 5)
