    EICR on my own property

    Hi, I bought a 2-bed house 2 years ago that I have rented out. The EICR is due now. Just recently registered with NAPIT and fully qualified. Can I do the inspection and certify myself, when it is my own property?

    EICR bonding connection not visible/accessible

    What is the case in if you carry out an EICR and you cannot get to the connections of gas/water bonding to get a reading? The gas meter is outside but I see no bond to it. I cannot find the water stop cock. There are a few GY cables at the MET and I guess I could disconnect the cables and long...

    5.0 Distribution circuit section, N/A on paperwork?

    Hi all, This may be a silly question but here goes. When completing an inspection report for a small domestic installation (EICR not install). Would you mark all tick boxes under 5.0 Distribution circuits as N/A seeing at this is for a circuit/wiring feeding another distribution board? Thanks

    EICR R1+R2 testing requirements

    What’s your thoughts on this, house testing I would say no argument against this, mains isolation & tests can be carried out. Commercial properties where isolation is not possible i certainly would not do a R1+R2 test, also knowing the EOL near impossible. Electrician’s are now deducting the Ze...

    Average price for an EICR? Another poll! Please read post before voting.

    I'm going a bit poll crazy at the moment. I love polls! This one is just a bit of fun. It's obviously very inaccurate and there will be many variations on price, but... Lets just ask 'What price would you charge for an EICR on an average 2-3 bed house'? No outbuildings, one consumer unit (10...

    Ramifications of a worthless EICR

    Come across a few of these recently, EICRs that you're asked for an opinion on and all you can think of is asking if they have a printer that handles soft paper. Highlights of yesterday's attempt included: Limited to 30% of final circuits "Currents (sic) feeding essential items shall not be...

    EICR Frequency

    Asking for a friend who works in the health and safety sector, was asking me about the proper time intervals for EICRs in commercial and industrial settings. I had a look in BS7671 and I see ( Reg 652.1 ) that it doesn't give specific timescales for various settings, only general guidance. I...
