EICR test results

Camlington · Sep 22, 2021

I have reason to doubt that any inspection or testing was done before an EICR was issued. The test results on the EICR are identical to those on an EIC issued a year previously. Is this likely, or would you expect some values to differ slightly?

Many thanks.

I would send an email to the company asking if they have sent the wrong certificate in error.
Mention in the email that it seems to be an EXACT COPY of the previous years one.

Copy and Paste test results , sneaky but lucrative ?

Rcd times are unlikley to be a precise match, infact sometimes they can vary by a ms or 2 from one test to the next test 5 minutes later.

There should be a section which shows which test instruments were used, is this identical?

When this is completed, it should include the date of calibration (although frequently omitted by many), again is this the same?

Values will most definitely differ year to year. Each instrument will give varying results which admittedly are fairly marginal.

Many thanks for all your replies. The test instrument is the same but no calibration dates given. Should I report this to NICEIC?

Cheers.

There is no date of calibration included in the test instrument details box in the generic schedule of test results.

The low IR reading being exactly the same is also an indicator.
Did they tell you the cause of it?

There is in the exceptional case when I do one

I'm not saying it's not a good idea. It's a great idea.
I only point it out as the OP was talking about reporting it to the NICEIC on the basis of the calibration date not being recorded on the schedule.

I wasn't implying that it's reportable, just that if the test equipment and certification dates are identical, then it adds credence to the suspicion that it's a direct copy; as over 12mths it ought to have an updated calibration certification

Sorry what I meant was reporting the cut and paste inspection (not!) report.

Thanks again for the help.

I have seen a guy sitting in the kitchen typing in a laptop. No tools, test equipment or even a visual inspection. As it was an EICR he was completing I watched with interest and twenty five minutes later he put his laptop in a bag and left.
