EICR - 2 boards, 1 with an off peak split and one with regular supply

[westward10]

I believe for someone to carry out EICRs they must have an expansive knowledge of electrical installation methods, past and present. A thorough understanding of current requirements and how these may or may not affect existing installations. The ability to produce a factual Report with concise grammar. Most of this cannot be achieved in a classroom.

Well, would that not mean that only electricians who lived through the 70s till present day could do an eicr?
I do understand broadly what you mean,and i agree that this qualities you mention would be very valuable, but it doesnt seem like a practical approach.
At the end of the day, people are required to have their properties tested etc so there has to be a mechanism for providing people the knowledge to have this done?

I partly agree with what you say, but you need a little knowledge.
And I truly mean no disrespect with this next bit.
I don't think you have that based on what your asking.
You have to start somewhere, I know. But for now get a bit of experience. Avoid EICR's and do them after that experience grows a bit and do the 2395 or what ever the equivalent is now.

Hmm, very strange.
Here we have two installations and the advice is to put N/A for Main switch details?

I think Spin is saying that two CUs from one single supply is classed as two installations.

A great attempt at trolling but not good enough to catch me out.

3 Phase supply into the basement of a building.
Ground floor shop, first floor flat, second floor flat.
One supply, how many installations?

Oh yes, and of course there’s also the fact that a single installation can have more than one supply

The origin of an installation is the consumer connection point at the meter.
2 meters, 2 installations.
1 meter with 2 connection points, 2 installations.

so does that mean that this flat actually has 3 installation what with the board that has one side regular supply, other side off peak, and then another board regular supply?

Are these 3 boards connected to different connection points on the meter, are there 3 meters?
