Landlords electrical safety certificate template???

[Danielwareham]

Anyone know where to find a Landlord's electrical safety certificate in template form???

Thanks

Also known as a periodic inspection and test report, that's just the name they're given mate

Ok thanks, just wondered if there was a slightly different i.e shorter version around as it's not a BS 7671 requirement!

No mate they're one and the same document set

Or are you refering to a visual inspection - you know, that piece of paper that's worth nothing.

 

[Danielwareham]

It's down to the owner, the letting agent are requesting a landlords safety cert but as far as I'm aware there's no nationally recognised format.

There is a nationally recognised format, it's called a periodic inspection and test report. The other thing is worthless as Murdoch said, that's why I didn't mention it. No one wants them except for idiots who know nothing as if they had one and had an electrical fault start a fire the insurance company would refuse to pay out

Thanks for the advice.

Daniel did you have any luck locating a PIR visual inspection form ?
I'm sure you know this but a PIR on a HMO lasts for 5 years. but there is a requirement in the HMO regulations that a Visual inspection by a competent be carried out on change of tenant ( in my case once a year)
This covers burning to sockets, securely fixed switch plates etc.
I take on board and agree with all the other comments to your original post But I still need the useless piece of paper to comply with the useless legislation
