Shepherds hut electrics

[ericmark]

Essentially it is no different to any other preassembled electrical device, such as View attachment 279300

So the shepards hut is same idea but bigger?

Surely it would follow the same regs as a caravan? In which case any competent caravan/motorhome repairer or constructor could arrange for the appropriate testing and certification. I am surprised you’ve not been asked for it before.

Lots of these guys come to site so you just need to find one near you who can install , test and issue the relevant paperwork or is prepared to check your work, test and issue paperwork.

It may be a business sideline but you really need to get to grips with the relevant business regs and ensure compliance otherwise in the event of a fire or electrical incident you could be on dodgy ground.

Isn’t there a caravan builders council or some such that could be approached for guidance?

Is it supplied complete or in parts to be assembled on site?

You may want to look into making it so each part can be plugged into the other.

We haven't built many yet, covid messed things up, The electrician we were using is off sick and will not return to work full time, so we don't think he'll renew any scheme membership (can't remember who he was with)
But from what has been mentioned on here, doing live testing in our workshop and issuing an EIC might not be the best way to do it

You might want to look at BS7909.. it's primarily aimed at the entertainment industry but it covers things like mobile catering wagons, concessions stands, etc. and puts a lot of emphasis on "pre tested assemblies" It might not be legally applicable to your situation but you'll probably find some of the information relevant.
