    Bit flummoxed as to what exactly to report/say on this?

    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...

    What exactly is required to calibrate a voltage continuity tester?

    My company does not allow us to use our own voltage/continuity testers. Instead we must use the ones they provide for us. They're pretty cheap but do the job well enough. I have had my testers for just over a year and the label says that I shouldn't use them after that time so I handed them...
