I have a customer in CA that wants us to come and document his existing electrical system.  He also wants us to stamp the resulting SLD’s.  We have expressed our concerns about stamping other’s designs but he is adamant. 

I have some people telling me to just add a caveat statement on our drawing indicating that my stamp is only certifying the existing conditions at the time of data collection and not affirming any technical correctness of the system.

I am hesitant to do this.  Does anyone know if a written caveat like that would hold any water?

I plan to call the board in the AM but figured I would ask here for good measure.  I want to find a way to say yes to this guy but obviously don’t want to unnecessarily expose myself or my company to unwarranted liability.
