Discuss EICR prices - 3 bed semi or per certificate? in the Periodic Inspection Reporting & Certification area at ElectriciansForums.net

I suspect the cheap EICR will carry on until someone does jail time for missing an obvious fault and someone gets killed.
The problem with this is that EICR's rarely involve 100% sampling and are required to be carried out with minimum dismantling (GN3). This means that any points not part of the sample could be hiding a dangerous fault even on a properly carried out EICR, I think that is something many good electricians do not appreciate. If we advocate draconian measures for those who miss something on an EICR then it will have to be 100% sampling on all installations or none of us will be safe, not just the drive by brigade.
