NAPIT Certification Scheme Fraudulent EICR, who to contact?

[Grant1987]

Unfortunately as you are finding, there is little to no practical oversight of the PRS scheme. It is the local authority who has the official oversight, rather than NAPIT, though they might have done more to address your concerns IMO.

Depending on your council, they may or may not be helpful - some of them have rental standards which they require every landlord to meet, others don't. Based on the finish around the socket, it may be that there are others non electrical issues that are also not up to standard? (Is that mould to the right hand wall?)

The pictures themselves don't look quite as dangerous as you think, though certainly the cables not being correctly clipped to the wall should have been noted on the EICR. Being exposed is not in itself an issue, if they are suitably secured.

If you can put a redacted copy of the EICR up, then it may be clearer whether it was a poorly done report, or something more obviously nefarious.

On a final note, based on the labels on the consumer unit, someone needs to buy that electrician a spirit level!

I thought it was my eyes with the labelling on the consumer unit.

Poor things like that do get alarm bells ringing however I don’t think that means that the electrician is a fraud. The cables not secured don’t present immediate danger but need to be securely fixed I’m on the borderline of C2/C3 on this one due to the potential of cable being pulled easily and causing harm.
Hope you get issues resolved quickly keep us posted

I should have done this before, my apologies. I will attach it to this message, the pages werent even in the right order so ive corrected that.

@AlureofSugar , please redact all the personal details (including the electricians) before posting the EICR.

Well the EICR makes interesting reading and is of questionable quality,

My apologies, I have included a redacted version here, I hope that I haven missed anything. I am a layperson, so I really dont understand anything that's written on there.

Please could you explain this? I dont know what you mean.

Well the test results for that EICR appear to be believable at first glance.

I'd say either the Zs or R1+R2 are calculated as they all have exactly the same difference, but this is permitted by the regulations (personally I don't agree with it, but it is perfectly acceptable)

What is surprising is the complete lack of any comment on an installation which is apparently 20 years old, you'd expect there to be something even if its just general wear and tear.

They haven't ticked the box for alterations/additions to the installation but that CU can't be more than a few years old (I'm pretty sure that CU wasn't even manufactured 10 years ago, let alone 20)

Id say on the balance of probability that EICR hasn't been carried out with the due care and attention that it should have been.
