Commercial EICR, What has to be legally filled in?

[Boat_Boy]

Had a EICR completed on a commercial property and it has come back with N/A in the Ze box and also N/A in all the boxes regarding the serial number of the test equipment used. Do these have to be filled in?

There are a number of other mistakes and omissions as well including one DB's circuits not there at all!!

I know it's a silly question, but could you please also confirm the meaning of Recessed luminaires as my interpretation of it is luminaires fixed into the ceiling and not luminaires fixed onto the ceiling.

Many thanks

Are you sure all the boxes for the test instruments are not filled in. It's possible to you use only one multifunction tester to complete all the testing and leave the rest crossed through or N/A. If there are definitely no serial numbers then that's very poor.

N/A in all boxes

They have also called it a TN-C-S when according to the DNO it is TN-S that’s why I asked about the Ze

Well, they’ve given me a C2 for accessories I don’t have!!

Could we ask for pictures of the report with any personal details of yourself or the company involved redacted.

There may be more than one area of the report that test equipment serial numbers are recorded, same with Ze, but it’s not hard to just copy the information from one page to the other.

Ze can be found by measurement, calculation or enquiry, so even if there was a reason that it couldn't be measured (and in a commercial setting there could be many legitimate reasons) it should at least have considered the basic DNO values.

This sounds remarkably like a five minute inspection by someone who didn't even get out of the motor.....

 

[Boat_Boy]

I've gone through the report and there is only one place that Ze is asked for and thats in Part 8 Nature of supply parameters.

Unfortunately it wasn't, 3 days worth. The tester had the last test results, as we used his employer before, and he was taken to all the circuit points and given a hand to take down light fittings etc.

There was no reason why he couldn't do the Ze as he turned the power off and if there was I would have thought it should have been noted in the exceptions.

Have you asked, it could easily be an oversight when completing the report that NA was entered as opposed to the reading.

 

[Boat_Boy]

I've asked about all the missing circuits that where tested and not recorded on the report also told them that the rest of the report is full of other mistakes and ommissions and not had any sort of reply except that payment is overdue.

I wouldn’t be in a rush to pay that invoice
