Been asked to do a few EICR's recently and just wondered how other guys go about doing certain things....
How much do you charge? Per circuit, for the report etc....
How much time (roughly) do you spend on each circuit?
I've not done 2391 or equivalent but am considering it, does this course go into detail on EICR procedure (I already know how to do testing obviously)
If the installation is generally very good but you find a few unsatisfactorys on inspection, do you issue the client an unsatisfactory report then do the repairs then fill out another bloody 7 page report that is satisfactory. If so do you charge them for the second report aswell.
I did one recently that was all good except for one outside lighting circuit so I just disconncted it, put a note on the front page of the cert and issued a satisfactory report.
What would the recommended interval between EICR's be for:
Owned dwelling
Rented dwelling
Communal area (flats staircase)
Commercial (shop)
Industrial
Would you consider all of the following to be C3's?
C/U labelled incorrectly
No brown/blue sleeving
No warning stickers
If you are inspecting an installation say pre 17th ed would you put N/A next to the box that asks about mechanical protection/RCD for cables in walls. Same question for RCD's on socket outlets on a pre 16th installation.
Sorry for so many questions guys but I think its definitely an area where many of us have room for improvement. Any input would be much appreciated.
