How many EICRs in a day?

[sparkside1]

That is what I was thinking.
I would have to IR the whole db with socket and light switches off.
Take Zs measurements and calculate R1+R2 values or R2 lead test at furthest point.
I don't believe there are RCDs in these properties so that saves time.
All the properties are modular and exactly the same.
The contractor said he will only deal with C1s.
The visual inspection would be done in 10 minutes on the fly.
The paperwork would have to be filled in on the way home in the back of the wagon.
The company are apparently well respected and known by NICEIC?
Surely there would have to be some pre-arranged limitations stated in the contract?
They said that any remedial works would be subbed out so broken rings would just be put down as a fail or C1.

There you go, inform NICEIC that one of their registered AC members are conducting full EICR's for a housing association in 2 hours. Then ask, do they really need another court case where their members are being prosecuted for failing to adequately test, (causing the death of another child) along with falsifying test report sheets?? Let's see what happens, ....but don't whatever you do, hold your breath!!

It is out and out fraud whatever way you look at it, as any official document issued, isn't worth the paper it's written on... I would also go as far as saying the housing association is just as liable, for not conducting regular site visits ensuring work being undertaken, meets the criteria of the contract specifications awarded to this cowboy outfit!!

So they would let people live in a potentially dangerous, unsatisfactory installation then? Nice. Broken ring is not a C1 (unless it's broken by a big hole in the wall with conductors hanging out) and putting it down as such to make them fix it cos they'll only fix C1s is just *removed*

Not necessarily. Somewhere in all this there is a line which tells us another company has the repair contract, as a result the property owner has most likely stipulated that the testing company are only to rectify any C1s they find.
Having done a fair bit of decent homes work in my time I can tell you that if a property fails it isn't unusual for tenants to continue living in the property until repairs are scheduled. Obviously if the place was lethal then they'd be moved out but those occassions are, thankfully, quite rare

Ah, OK, must have missed that one, cheers.

No .simple answer 2 if you are lucky 4 in a Day no hope on earth and any one who does then needs to replace there van with a Horse , an inspection is one of the most important part of the job and requires a lot of experience , no one to police it no one gives a Dam only time something will ever be done about these rushed EICR's is when an MP's Daughter gets Electrocuted after one was done ,after all that's how Part P originated

 

[telectrix]

bit of luck would be a MP getting electrocuted. i'd expect a minimum of a knighthood.

unsure of the details but from what I remember it was a handyman putting up a cooker hood that caused the fault that killed her, so not sure where the eicr comes in to it.
