Stroma Certification Scheme Eic not recognised- qualification

[Simon-0116]

Carried out a db replacement and obliviousy tested house, sockets off lights down etc a proper test.
Issued a Eic but estate agent want a eicr to rent property.
So I'm registed with stroma as domestic / industrial etc . But not to do eicr. As never took 2391.
I've got c+g 2360 level 3.

Can I fill a paper eicr cert out and issue this. We have 5 million public liability as a company.
In my eyes it's a domestic property a proper test / inspection has been carried out so no diiferce between eic or eicr.
Note I probably do 2 jobs like this for estate agents a year.

Anyone else had similar problems

Thanks

Did you do EICR before hand.

mothing to stop you doing a EICR as long as you are competent to do one.

No one has, customer just purchased house and we've updated fuse board.

In what way, we've changed most socket fronts , switches lights etc so in my eyes we've inspected and carried out testing at every point. Etc.

So you put in a upgrade CU with out testing first....

Can you still use the word competent, thought that got removed from regs in 18th.

Did visual check on lights switches etc all earths present, bonding in place etc . It's empty property so if was fault it would be put right.
Don't see why would need to test before changing boards.
Do a zs on circuits to prove what breaker what .
Change board
Then test fully.

Customer knows it will be right when we've finnished

I've never taken the inspection and testing course/exam either but carry out a lot of EICRs. It's not a mandatory requirement. As long as you're confident and sufficiently experienced just get the EICR done. Your schedule of test results is already done for a start.

So give them an EICR. I am afraid they are sticking to the ESPRS regs and can't see beyond that. You have all the info from the EIC so should be a quick matter. BUT...charge them extra for the EICR as it is extra work. £25 per circuit should make it worth your while. These guys are stupid but hey, just go along with it. You can do an EICR.

BS7671 can say what it likes, providing you can reg 29 your way out of ---- with Reg 16, you're golden.

Have at it and make a quick buck and let their anality cost them.

We have 5 million public liability as a company.

That covers you for damage, etc for the practical work done. It does not cover you for activities where you are providing a service, such as an EICR.
For this you also need PROFESSIONAL INDEMNITY insurance. Often this is just an extension to your existing PLI policy. It covers you if the advice you give on the report, etc turns out to be wrong.

Be aware, if the letting agent is guided by the PRS they will not accept a certificate from anybody who is not on that list.
