    Our company in the UK had its Periodic Inspection done over a year ago but now we’ve lost the EICR. We’ve contacted the company who did the inspection for another EICR, but they’ve said they have lost our report because of a server crash. They’ve told us we have to have the inspection done...

    Napit Fast test EICR form query

    Has anyone on here using the Napit Fast test software for EICR's noticed that in the section "Extent and Limitations of Inspection and Testing" there is a box marked "Extent of Termination Sampling" which needs to be filled in. This must be a very recent addition, or it's been longer than I...

    Hi All, just carried out an EICR on a rented property that has mains smoke detectors, there is no SPD fitted and as I understand any safety service should be protected by an SPD, what code would you give this.

    SY cable on EICR again ....

He said there was no RCD on the top board and partial on the bottom one. So rather than pay twice I was thinking of getting any potential work done first prior to the...
