    BEAMA Calls For EICRs To Be Done In UK Residential Buildings Every 5 Years

    An interesting report. I'm in favour. My own opinion is that ten years between inspection and testing of domestic installations is too long, and that this period should be reduced to five years. I particularly like the proposal that an EICR be compulsory whenever there is a change of occupancy...

    EICRs only testing a percentage

    I can understand accessories you may only sample a percentage but allot of companies only test %20 of the final circuits. Thats like taking your car for an MOT and only looking at half the car... should this practice be outlawed as testing firms are getting away is issuing a worthless report and...

    EICRs to soon become compulsory

    Reading allot of landlord accreditation and news items EICRs are a hot topic and may soon become compulsory. Looking around on the internet i can see companies charging £80.00 for an EICR, i dont see how this works as it take 4 hours to test a 1 bedroom flat with all the paper work involved...

    EICRs ZXZCZXZCZXZCZXZC

    A point of interest really, not having done that many EICRs and the few that I have done did not come with any problems. After reading about "how should I code this that or the other" got me thinking. Where I worked we were given written permission to disconnect any dodgy installs we found at...

    EICRs: observations and test results that dismay me

    Eh up :) I don't do EICRs - not enough experience - but the things I see on some reports done by others really dismay me. Perhaps some of my understanding needs improving, I dunno. Or perhaps the CPSes have their own set of guidelines different from the sources I use? In the examples below, I'm...

    EICRs and LANDLORDS

    Rather than add to 'Thoughts on recommendation' I thought it better to begin a new one. I am a landlord in London. I think it should be mandatory for an in-date EICR whenever a new tenant takes up a lease and of course after electrical works. I present to my tenants both the EICR and Gas...

    Duplicate Easycert EICRs

    Hi all, was wondering if anyone could tell me if it's possible to duplicate an entire EICR on the app. We have a scheme of 20 houses to do all exactly the same electrically and this would save a bit of time (worth mentioning we obviously won't be using the same values for each property, it's...

    NICEIC Domestic Installers incompetent to do EICRs?

    I'm a NICEIC Domestic Installer but on bunging my postcode into NICEIC's 'Find an Electrician' page after ticking the EICR box, my company didn't show up. NICEIC tells me that this is quite right and if I want to do EICRs on NICEIC forms and come up in a search I need to become an Approved...

    "Unqualified Electricians" carrying out EICRs

    The article doesn't mention what qualifications this 'electrician' had, but it seems he had filled in the EICR incorrectly, providing values for circuits which didn't exist, then the QS was given 46 EICRs to check at once, and missed the mistakes. Should the CPS prosecute? Discuss...
