Niceic cert filling in on software programme

[cliffed]

Wondering why they isn’t a Zs box to fill in,& if Connected to origin do not fill in box.
Also altered the Rcd times,now just entering the x5 trip time.
Why is there no N-E insulation reading ,& a L-L entry,which I would take to be L-N.
Just pondering these thoughts,will phone helpline next time in office,but any ideas.

I write the rccb in the circuit column if it’s a split load board, 61008, it’s current rating etc then I record only one rcd trip time measurement,I do not repeat the measurement to correspond to each circuit, for the column that covers 60898 devices I put N/A as it’s an mcb and not an rcbo.

I've seen this done before. Surely though we are recording the circuit details on each line, not just the device details. Every circuit under the RCD is protected by the RCD and therefore it is appropriate to enter the I delta n, and trip time on each of these circuits.
That's how I see it anyway.

I do record each circuit on each line but above I record the rccb, it’s rating, it’s I delta N etc then the circuits it protects underneath with its circuit number. One rcd, one trip time measurement, it’s just the way I do it, I used to do it that way before.
If they are rcbos then there’s an rcd trip time for each circuit corresponding to each line.

So how do you show on the circuit schedule that the circuits following the RCD are in fact RCD protected?
Do you record the RCD as something like "RCD for circuits 5 to 10"?

Because I write the circuits underneath, then if there’s another rcd the other circuits are written under that one,
Just how I do it, by no means am I suggesting that it’s the be all and end all of doing it, as long as the information is recorded.

For me that's not clear enough for someone else to interpret. Each to his own way I guess.

The other way it’s written to me suggests that the circuit have individual rcd protection as you have written 30mA for each 60898 and a trip time but there’s only one or two rcd’s etc.
so to me it’s written for rcbos when they’re are not any.

I have looked at three different Software program's for EICR reports, the best so far is "EasyCert" on a laptop or desktop, but not on a iPhone, the screen is too small, the software itself is quite intuitive and follows logical progress, but still has the annoying tick list page's, how much of that guff is really needed or even read by anyone that come's after? I suppose if you are that person that comes after and find a fault it may be useful, but then again you are going to do the whole tests yourself and not take a lot of notice of previous tests, or are you?

 

[Risteard]

I don't believe that the ticks lists have any real merit and need a serious rethink. I'd be more in favour of a simple declaration that the works have been verified in accordance with the Standard and comply fully with it. This would not affect how the initial verification is carried out, but I think the paperwork is out of control.

I think the whole of the legislation is out of control, can anyone answer "Why Part P"?

 

[Mike Johnson]

And while I'm at it, why, after a Millennia did a "Ring Main" become a "Final Ring Circuit"?

That’s pretty much what I said apart from the N/A if it’s 5 circuits on same rcd I repeat the 5 readings on 5 mcbs. If there are 5 rcbos then the 5 readings will be recorded independently

Totally agree with you here. I was thinking how to record this and came up with the same idea.
