What is the case in if you carry out an EICR and you cannot get to the connections of gas/water bonding to get a reading?
The gas meter is outside but I see no bond to it. I cannot find the water stop cock. There are a few GY cables at the MET and I guess I could disconnect the cables and long...
Hi everyone
I am in two minds on how to code this on an EICR recently completed.
Plastic CU under-stairs and under 150mm to gas meter with a tiny bit of firer retarded board between.
By looking through regs I've come to C3 but I'm extremely nervous about it.. C2?
Any feedback appreciated...
Hi all,
This may be a silly question but here goes.
When completing an inspection report for a small domestic installation (EICR not install). Would you mark all tick boxes under 5.0 Distribution circuits as N/A seeing at this is for a circuit/wiring feeding another distribution board?
Thanks
What’s your thoughts on this, house testing I would say no argument against this, mains isolation & tests can be carried out.
Commercial properties where isolation is not possible i certainly would not do a R1+R2 test, also knowing the EOL near impossible.
Electrician’s are now deducting the Ze...
Hi just a quick one, I know some might say it’s pretty self explanatory but I want to get a few ideas.
What are the differences with the eicr codes and when would one be more suitable than the other.
I know c1 is immediate danger things like gaping hole in consumer units where you can reach...
Dear all professional electricians
This is the report we were sent by our seller. Does this report look okay, especially the readings. If anything is missing I would be grateful if you could point it out.
Thanks
Hi, I recently did an EICR test on my flat built in 2008. The engineer was in my flat for less than 10 mins, he was asking me irrelevant questions as in whether I am renting and that is interested to rent. In the end he said everything looks fine and will get the report in 24 hours.
The report...
I'm going a bit poll crazy at the moment. I love polls!
This one is just a bit of fun. It's obviously very inaccurate and there will be many variations on price, but...
Lets just ask 'What price would you charge for an EICR on an average 2-3 bed house'? No outbuildings, one consumer unit (10...
Hi All,
My first post - starting with a question and looking for your help/guidance.
I'm looking to rent out my house 4 bed mid-terraced and I am looking to have an EICR certification done.
Reading it seems I don't have to change the CU but the electrician says I will have to as I am going to...
Hi all
Still got a hangover from saturday but im struggling with one 🤣
EICR, everything tests ok until i press the button on the RCD and it doesnt trip.
Tried 2 spare RCDs same thing.
When i disconnect the sockets Neutral from the busbar it then works.
Type AC 30ma 80A RCD
What am I...
Come across a few of these recently, EICRs that you're asked for an opinion on and all you can think of is asking if they have a printer that handles soft paper.
Highlights of yesterday's attempt included:
Limited to 30% of final circuits
"Currents (sic) feeding essential items shall not be...
Asking for a friend who works in the health and safety sector, was asking me about the proper time intervals for EICRs in commercial and industrial settings.
I had a look in BS7671 and I see ( Reg 652.1 ) that it doesn't give specific timescales for various settings, only general guidance.
I...
hi got an EICR report completed yesterday for a rental property. Still waiting for the report. Told there is one c1 and a number of c2 observations.
Electrician appears to want a lot of money to fix issues. He is also saying if i use someone else to fix issues, i will need to get the EICR...
Firstly hi all not posted for a very long time for one reason or another, hoping to be a little more active on here as and when i can.
As the thread title suggests my query is regarding a HMO that i am currently working on completing and EICR.
First day here today after a previous site visit...
I'm working on an article that dives into a big question: Are large commercial inspection and testing companies truly delivering quality, or are they just profit-driven machines cutting corners?
I’d love to hear from those who currently work (or have worked) for these larger organizations. What...
Hi everyone,
I recently completed a domestic EICR and came across something unusual. There’s a 10mm² twin and earth cable directly connected to the 100A cut-out fuse at the service head. The cable is concealed within the client’s wall and reappears next to the consumer unit, where it connects...
just wondered how everyone else would code this lamp post.
the original installer made a type of swa gland from copper pipe and a BS88 clamp.
they also issued a 12 year inspection date.
its all just a thought exercise now as i have added a proper lamp post cut out with swa 20s glands.
Hi guys,
As a qualified electrician, do you need to be registered with a Scheme in order to carry out Inspection&Test and EICR? It is not notifiable anyway! According to the Regs being competent is sufficient, but you never know, every day we hear a new thing :). I have completed the...
