Caravan site/park periodic

[bigspark17]

I have no problem with it being less than the guidance but to give 3x the guidelines seems wrong to me.! I wouldnt have a prob a cvan site been given 6mnths eicr its a special location open to all sorts of hazards.! I just cant belive a cvan site can be given or 3/5 yrs cert

It is maybe that the insurance company are aware that the site is routinely checked every six months and tested every year, and as Dave alluded to are happy with a three year report.
But I would agree with you too, it would be a brave man/woman to recommend an EICR greater than the guidance , given the notes in the guidance, and the way litigation is now.
As long as you put your period of next inspection on the report, it is then up to the owner to follow that or ignore it.
We cannot police the owners . As long as we comply with the requirements of the statutory bodies in the notes, and the report is accurate , the rest is up to the owner/operator of the site.

If they are caravan club members I think they have to have it inspected every year for their annual site inspection.

The Guidance only relates to the initial frequency though and not the subsequent frequency which must be determined by the Inspector having due regard to all relevant factors.

There isn't a regulation in 7671 for it. Only a suggestion in the guidance notes
