Posted By Raymond Rapp Pat I believe the liability would lie with the purchaser of the equipment ie the Client. On the proviso that any fault was found with the equipment and not the installation. However, if the installer had any doubts about the safety of the equipment, then this should be raised with the Client before installation. Ray

Posted By Ken Taylor If you have competence and good reason to believe that the units are unsafe or illegal you should not install them. You should install them correctly - which may require referring to manufacturer's or supplier's literature. It would seem advisable to state in writing as part of your contract that your liability will only be for the installation/fitting and not the condition, safety or suitability of the units (or words to that effect). Presumably as fitters you will have some clause of this type in your standard contract conditions as advised by a legal adviser.
