The Am2 version of code breakers suggests a C2 coding for: "....type AC RCD and has pulsating DC currents from connected equipment such as...

    EICR's for Amendment 2

    A long time since I've used this forum. My question is.....With the release of amendment 2 on 28th March '22, would an EICR on a purpose built student accommodation or HMO fail the EICR due to it not having AFDD's on the circuits feeding socket outlets if they are tested between 28th March '22...

    Hey all, First time posting on here. The reason for my post is to warn others about a company called who call themselves Countrywide Repairs Ltd, who are offering a contract for 350 EICR's in a year. Their operation is bloody brilliant. They organise phone interviews, use online contracts...

    Estate agent ordered EICR's

    Hi chaps, Now I tend to avoid periodics/eicr's as much as possible, as I'm a bit finicky and they take me pretty much a full day of work. However, I do the occasional one for a friend or family if needed. Just doing one at the minute for a house that's just been sold, which was previously rented...

    EICR's and previous editions of Regs

    Reading the recent post about the barber shop and no RCDs I was wondering, If an installation was satisfactory under a previous edition of Regs. And if no alterations have been made to it, or no other problems are evident, since installation, is it still satisfactory and therefore can't be...

    Should EICR's be restricted to those qualified

    Just read a post about a poor EICR and given the amount of reckless plastic sparks out there running around doing poor EICR's and ultimately putting people at risk I do think its time they are restricted. The cowboys do not have a clue what they are doing or inspecting and only want the quick...

    Earth leakage and EICR's

    I have an installation that has an inherent earth leakage of about 15mA. The issue I have is that when I go to do an RCD test it trips due to the the additional current created by my MFT. Question is, if this was an EICR what would you code it as and why? My take on this is that 15mA is still...
