Hi. If I carry out a PIR and decide to not carry out a R1+R2 or R2 test, but instead use the EFLI test to prove continuity of protective conductors, Easycert fails the validation. The row turns red and tells me that I need to enter the R1+R2.

In my opinion > 50kW requires different expertise and would normally be an M&E type contract, don't let these guys scope creep into commercial areas, the whole design and contract process is very different above 50kW.
Same...
