EICR rectifications completed by another electrician, what now?

[Risteard]

I have to agree with @essex - it is clearly stated within an EICR if you bother to read it that the date of next inspection is subject to dangerous and potentially dangerous defects being remedied, and further investigation being carried out where required. There is no need to reissue another EICR with the word "Satisfactory". Certified remedial works for the "Unsatisfactory" EICR make it now satisfactory. The original EICR is not amended to read "Satisfactory" - there is no need for it to. The certification proves that relevant issues have been corrected.

No, I do not issue am Unsatisfactory report and then specify a date for the next inspection.
Just the same as if a vehicle fails an MOT, there is no date specified for the next MOT inspection.
If I were to specify when the next inspection should be, it would be when the observations have been rectified.

See here again unclear.
What do you mean by incorrect OCPD, what is the observation, what code has been applied?
You need to specify.
Is the rating incorrect, the type incorrect, does it affect the overall type testing of the CU, is the breaking capacity too low for the measured PFC, is there no discrimination with upstream or downstream devices?

I think I would really hate to see one of your reports.
Judging by how you explain yourself on the forum, I bet any of your reports would be just full of generalities.
Things like: “No RCD in Fuse Box, code C2”.

See now you are turning it personal. A standard response to someone that feels theeatened.

You have answered my question. You do not carry out EICRs to BS7671. At least you are honest about this.

Oh you accusing me of being a troll, is not personal?
You still haven’t explained anything.

 

[Deleted member 26818]

It is a completly false statement.

Considering the second paragraph says what you have been saying, does that mean what you have been saying is also completely false?

I never said you were a troll. I said you were trolling. Subtle difference.

Oh my God, are you serious?

It says the complete opposite.

This is now hilarious.

 

[Deleted member 26818]

The word ‘trolling’ is the present participle of the word ‘troll’.
By stating that I am trolling, you are stating that I am at present actively being a troll.

How does “By rights appropriate certification appended to your report should be sufficient.” differ from what you have been saying?
You still haven’t explained.

Ok. Nice side step from the issue. Painting my living room does not make me a painter.

Do you accept that you are incorrect in your understanding of the EICR sign off procedure.

Your Post 3 contradicts itself and shows a misunderstanding of how EICRs should be signed off. You have further clarifies your misunderstanding by confirming that you do not give a next inspection due date on unsatisfactory EICRs.

Actually, it does.
It doesn’t make you a professional painter, but a painter is someone who paints.

No.
BS7671 allows me as the Inspector to determine when an installation should next be inspected.
If I do not consider an Installation is safe for continued use, then I am not obliged to state the installation should continue to be used and inspected in x amount of years.

Please explain how it contradicts itself?
