What this sheet is for

Produce as-built information for the certificate, the client and the next person to open the ceiling, instead of reconstructing it from memory.

Who it is for

Electricians and data installers on fit-outs, and site supervisors who have to hand over as-built records.

How to use it

  1. Record each containment run first, with its route, fixings and whether penetrations were fire-stopped.
  2. Log every cable or bundle against the containment it runs in.
  3. Tick termination, test and label as each end is finished — not at the end of the week.
  4. Have a second person check the sheet against the drawing before it goes to the client.

What is on the sheet

2 pages, in this order:

Page 1

Printed under the title: Every cable pulled on a job and the containment it runs in: from where to where, what it is, how it is supported, and whether it was terminated, tested and labelled before you left.

Your design, recorded as built. Cable sizes, support spacing, bend radii and fire-stopping detail come from your design, the cable maker's data and the rules where you work. Write what was installed; the columns are blanks, not limits.

Write-on lines: Site · Area / floor · Date · Installed by · Drawing / design ref · Client / main contractor · Labelling scheme

Containment — one row per run of tray, trunking, conduit or basket

Table, 11 rows: Ref · Type · Route · Fixing / support · Fire-stopped · Earthed · Done

Page 2

Cables — one row per cable or bundle

Table, 14 rows: Run · From · To · Cable type · Size / cores · In · Length · Term. · Tested · Label

Ruled lines: Deviations from the drawing, access left open, anything for the client

Signature strip: Installed by · Checked by · Date

Questions

Why no column for the test results?

Because results belong on the test certificate your scheme issues, in its own format. This sheet says the cable exists, where it goes and that it was tested; the certificate says what the test found.

Where are the support spacings and bend radii?

In your design and the cable maker's data, not on this sheet. Write what you installed; the columns are blanks to be filled, not limits to be met.
