A Rather Obvious Forged EICR

[JK-Electrical]

I know for a fact that the attached EICR is a forgery. I suspected as much even before I had been given a copy of the report.

My suspicions were confirmed the moment I noticed that the tester had entered 25 years as the estimated age of the installation. The installation is in fact, brand-new! The wiring was completed in July. The installation is within a newly-constructed, custom-built MOT testing station.

There is a story to be told about the events that took place prior to the EICR being issued which I will reveal in a later post. In the meantime, see how many irregularities you can find within this EICR.

I have redacted the report to spare any embarrassment for the company whose identity was stolen.

Are those terminals showing signs of "Mutilation"
by a very Peed off electrician ?
Or just some one who has a Wood butchers screwdriver kit !

I would say the block with the blue conductors at it looks like it shows signs of melting.

Looks like a stone bonker fraud or attempted fraud. Don’t think the 2006 Fraud Act applies in Scotland with you guys dealing with a lot of stuff under Common Law which covers most things fraudulent. I hope the builder is going to see the client right and the dodgy spark has carefully hidden his stash! Pigs might fly though given the current state of law enforcement.

This is what wood butchering looks like.

Quite why anyone would drill this size of hole for a 1.5 mm twin and earth mystifies me. The imbecile who did this has made no attempt to seal the hole. Remember, this is a brand-new installation that someone has done an EICR on and rated as being 'satisfactory'.

This is a one of five glands that were found to be loose inside and out. The top of the gland was barely hand-tight, and as is evidenced by the photo, the bottom half wasn't fully inserted in the entry hole.

These connections are for three shuttered doors!

40 amp breaker fitted to a ring final circuit!

Deep gashes in the L1 and L3 tails.

The only clip securing the tails and main earth is that solitary T&E clip.

...what can i tell you...i cut a few corners....after all,i was clucking...

This is a brand-new board. Words fail me.

 

[westward10]

Least they glanded each tail separately

 

[JK-Electrical]

This is how the wiring looks when viewed from behind the board. All the cables have been taped together and left dangling.

These SWAs were wrapped together with plastic cable ties and left dangling.

Rough

No other words for it

I would want to take everything out and re-do the lot
