One aspect that must not be overlooked by the person
responsible for specifying the prefabricated wiring system
is evidence of competency to test and issue certificates of
conformity. This can be overcome, by specifying that the
laboratory must, be independently recognized to BS EN ISO/
IEC 17025 for BS 8488 (see figure 1).
Competency to certify
conformity with BS 8488
“ A laboratory, independently recognized
to BS EN ISO/IEC 17025 provides
