Electrical Testing in the field

There is a generic form and there is company specific or in other words tweaked so they hold the copyright you really have walked into a bit of a mire here as the scheme providers like to think they are protecting their members and the industry but in my view are protecting their income so best thing to do is generate your own and allow the user to put in their scheme membership logo

I was thinking of creating a generic form - that can be tweaked for your own personal needs. So putting on a logo/signature is essential.

There would be a non NIC EIC electrician form, but also an NIC one.

You should take help of your seniors and teachers.

we use Ametch software. the most annoying thing is that u can't turn an nic cert into a pdf, last year i spent an eternity scanning a printed document, it was for a theatre with over 100 DBs.

Just install a printer driver that outputs PDF format. I use something called PDFCreator to do it.

A pdf file is something that would definitely need to be created.

we use laptops/netbooks at work, they seem to work well, we use office 2010 for the front/back sheets as well as the new EICR sheets.

since using a netbook, I would never go back to using a biro/paper tool combination, as we have just completed a EICR of a shopping centre with 60+ DBs (24way TPN) and 7 sub panels can you just imagine the paperwork that would generate?? plus the defect sheets too.
