If you get a reading of 50Mohms when doing the global IR test then why not write 50Mohms in the box on the sheet? Its a pass! falsifying figures as you are is (a) wrong and (b) completely pointless in the circumstances above!
 
I go all the way baby, or as far a practicably possible. No point carrying out an EICR or initial verification if you only do half a job.

Personally I think your just trolling the forum for a response...
 
Dave 85 , i knew you would get a right good flaming for your honesty lol.

Working live ? occasionally if needs must - most old skool sparks wont flinch at doing it if they have to , younger sparks have been brought up in a elf & safety bubble where even craft-knives are banned at college so are unlikely to try it.

As for testing , i tailor / adjust my inspection proceedure according to each job using methods that work for me - couldnt care less how others may do things to be honest.

Keep riding that mule Dave and i'll see you in the saloon - mines a whisky.

Surely if I put a reading of 50Mohms for every circuit I am falsifying the figures? Either way I dont really see what difference it makes, the fact is, the IR is massively higher than the minimum requirement and theres a good chance, that the 50Mohms is spread across several circuits all of which would show >200 or very close, tested individually. Now If I got a gobal reading of 2M ohms, obviously I'd track it down to the individual circuit
