The agreed process for signing off third party work....

[ArseyDee]

According to a recent article in PE magazine.

The installer appoints a registered third party certifier.
The scope of the work to be inspected is agreed and the work starts.
Within 5 days of completion, the third party certifier returns to inspect and test.

and issues........wait for it.........drum roll......an EICR!!

I have to assume this must be a 'special' EICR as the third party certifier must contact their scheme provider to request registration for this new additional category of membership. The work is notified and the scheme provider issues a Buildings Regs Compliance Certificate.

WTF!!!!!

So the new process (ignoring the scheme provider part) is to issue exactly the same certificate as we do already.

Yep, shafted again by the money hungry scam scheme providers, who want their CUT!! Tell me did you really expect anything else?? lol!!

Ah, but now there will be money involved to do it this way whereas before it was free!

I'll guess. In addition to the scheme membership fee (which you will have to pay to be considered for 3rd party) and additional fee of exactly the same price for 3rd party!

My last assessor was under the impression you could charge a minimum of £250 for an EICR. So if we are making those vast sums of money paying an additional fee would be easy ......

That assumes people actually want it done - and does he actually realise how little some people actually charge for an EICR??
