BS7671 Periodic Inspection and Test Certificates

Mark Duncanson over 9 years ago

We have a domestic HMO property, and have always had it tested under a "Periodic Inspection and Test" in accordance with Part 6 of the Regulations.

Why is it now deemed necessary for "Electrical Condition Surveys" to now be produced for such proeprties under Addendum 1.

Looking through the new ones we have seen, what more does this certificate bring and why the change from this long standing form of certification?

Hi Mark

I'm sorry but
I don't get that. Have you a recent PIR document presented to you?
The regulations changed with the 17th edition to change to the
EICR, from the PIR. If your inspector doesn't know that I shouldn't
think it was worth much as he wont know all the other changes
either! However the council may well accept it if they are not on
the ball, but that is not really very satisfactory.
