I agree the less dismantling the better during an eicr but ring final conductors end to end is a must for me, i do not however do the full 3 step ring final tests but do zs at every socket outlet. Who does do the 3 step test on an eicr?

I do the three step. If you're dismantling for end to end then there's no extra skin off your back to do the other two stepsI agree the less dismantling the better during an eicr but ring final conductors end to end is a must for me, i do not however do the full 3 step ring final tests but do zs at every socket outlet.

Completely agree.An EICR is a "snap shot" of a installation this is NICEIC's view, i spend about 5 full working days a year on site with them and constant review of jobs and certificates.
The less you take apart the better, you more likely to cause a fault. A good tester should be able to use there skill and judgment on just how much needs opening up. The numbers and readings are just a small part of a EICR.
