He used AMTECH software to produce and said it's ok - the authorities will accept it.

Makes no sense to me. Please advise.

Hello Ampman.

I think you would need to provide a few more details in order to give a balanced answer.

When was the report carried out?
Why have you mentioned AMTECH software, what relevance does this have?
Do you have a copy of the report you could scan on (minus the electrician's and your details)?

Thanks.

17th edition EICR ?

The electrician appeared to use 17th edition stationary which doesn't make sense for 18th edition requirements.

Apart from it saying 17th edition right at the very bottom of the page, is there any difference between the forms? all tests carried out would / should have been to the 18th edition standard.

looks like he had some forms left over from NAPIT and he's running his old stock down maybe?

Something odd there as the declaration dates are 2019. I know this is possible but it is odd the difference is over a year.

You can't have forms left over if they're electronic.

I know for a fact NAPIT/NICEIC would never endorse this practice and the forms would be void/not valid. Just seeing if anyone here has any other thoughts.

Do you guys think the 2018 test date is merely an accident? I don't think it was.

Is this report just for your own piece of mind or have you been asked for it as you are selling the house, moving in etc?

curious to read what the rest of the report says?

i'm wondering why he's only given the report 12 months until next inspection?

now i've not got GN3 or my BBB handy at present, but i'm pretty sure it should be 5 years as long as all remedial action has been taken, or on change of occupancy.

standing by to be corrected if wrong.
