    EICR, why oh why!

    Why have section 7 - 'observations and recommendation for actions to be taken', when we now have 4 pages of 'inspection schedule'. Also this further investigation required tick box. Am I right in saying that if you've identified something as a deviation, then no need to tick as you've...

    Periodic on a mobile catering van

    Hi, I've been asked to carry out a PIR on a Mobile Catering Van. As I haven't done one of these before, am I right in thinking that I complete as much of the forms as I can, just highlight the fact that the supply is from a generator and mobile? Schedules as normal using the generator for live...

    Can we get a new section added to the forum???

    Looking around the forum over the last few days I think it is about time we got a new section added. I think it could be called "Leave your handbags at the door" and it would be exclusive access only for members who see this forum as a great place to find/share information ONLY. I stand by what...

    Should we have a 'For Sale/Wanted' section of the forum?
