EICR downgraded by Landlord’s Agent from C2 to C3

Discuss EICR downgraded by Landlord’s Agent from C2 to C3 in the Periodic Inspection Reporting & Certification area at ElectriciansForums.net

I take it this is the company that issued the original and not the 'modified' version.
There should be a signature there, but I'm sure that the company would be interested to know that someone is changing the certs that they issued and put their signature to.

OP stated that cert hasn't been changed. The issue is a management company deciding that advice from their own electrical experts means no action needs to be taken in regard to the report's findings.

They haven’t actually amended the certificate. They have just said they won’t action the issues.
 
The other acceptable alternative would be for the letting agents electrical experts to contact the original firm and to argue it out with them, to try to get them to amend the certificate. We all know that no two testers will come up with identical EICRs, so if the agent thinks the C2s should be C3s, then they should convince the original tester.

My issue isn’t with the individual that carried out the EICR

I know it’s not.

But if I issued or I was the owner of a company than one of my employees issue an EICR and had someone state it is wrong and refused to rectify the issues i would want to know.

I would be a bit miffed. I’d have strong words with letting agent and then report them to local building control / authority.

id remind them the max fine for this is now £30,000.00.

I think BPG 4 suggests a C2 for this.
The regs have required this for nearly 15 years now, much longer than the requirement for domestic lighting circuits to have rcd protection (which bpg 4 suggests is a C3) so the two things aren’t entirely equal in one sense.

Have they said this in writing, if so ask when they will be issuing the revised EICR, because at the moment you have an EICR that requires remedial action within 28days of its issue date, if they refuse your next port of call is building control.
