Not sure if anyone can help, but I was wondering how often do shepherd huts need a condition report?
I have spoken to the hut supplier and they have provided me with report and specified that it needs to be done every 5 years. However, the electrician I use for other works and stated...

Hi ! I could use some official advice please. Is the old Twin Mains Fuse system considered unsafe and worthy of a C2 on a Condition Report ? My feeling is that it's technically unsafe. I'm wondering if it could be classed as a C3 if the rest of the installation is ok, only because I'm under...

I was wondering if anyone had any guides they use...
I have been trying out a few popular softwares which greatly assist in preparing the EICR following a periodic inspection. Problem is, most of these softwares produce an EICR with a "Certificate" reference, which might mislead the owners/clients into understanding that the EICR is a certificate...
The above statement was made in an EICR which I was asked to look at. In my opinion they are on the wrong side of Trading Standards to suggest that an installation should be re-wired because it is not up to current regulations. If it is safe then I would not suggest to a client they must have a...

Hi all,
New to this forum and just wanted to see if anyone has heard of EICR'S becoming mandotory in England.
As we know they are only a recommendation (Which I'm sure we all don't agree with)

Hi guys,
As a way of learning/getting my head around the regs I do mock condition reports if I see something I don't think is quite right but some of these things I wouldn't know what to code (If anything) If anyone can give me their thoughts it'd be much appreciated!
