After the news last evening I am currently trying to get official guidance on our status etc

 

Bsia released this yesterday

Surely your inspectorate will have guidance on this... or have they gone deadly quiet?

 

Nothing from nsi yet same response waiting on an official response from the Home office. However Imo its not an inspectorate thing it's a trade association thing

But your inspectorate, whoever it should be should offer guidance around missed inspections/response times etc. imo

 

I know BAFE have.

Currently we have a 3 month window, the inspectorate has about a month to update us on what to do. But as  see it if a customer phones and asks to be rescheduled it doesnt matter what anybody else says 

Agreed but it has to be documented, even better if deemed done...

We document everything. In normal circumstances we would deem them as done if the customer has not rearranged a date in the three months. I think though it would be unfair to the customer to deem them as done when they havent had a visit all the while this corona malarkey is going on. That said when  we do get the all clear we will be rushed off our feet with service visits if they keep rescheduling at this rate.  To some degrees I am glad we are a month ahead.

NSI bullentin 12/20 received today if I have read it right they want you out working, "if your figures fall below or cant show the decrease was genuinely COVID-19 related the auditor will expect to see a plan for improving your routine maintenence performance".
