Hi all, my father in law has a rental property that was completely rewired and with new split load CU five years ago. The installation is now due an inspection. Will the fact that the CU is plastic constitute a "fail"?
The legislation doesn't actually refer to an EICR, it calls it "a report from the person conducting that inspection and test, which gives the results of the inspection and test and the date of the next inspection and test". It's really vague as to what inspection and testing should be carried out.
Yes, I realise that but unless they stipulate a list of items to be inspected, then all there is is an EICR - presumably a full one with no limitations.
Whether knowingly or in ignorance, they have used the word 'report'.
There is no such thing as a landlord safety certificate.
Actually, reading the legislation again, not only does it not stipulate a list of items to be inspected, but it doesn't even say that the report has to be an inspection against "the electrical safety standards".
Seriously, it doesn't. Read Section 3 - (1) (a) to (c) in the most pedantic way you can think of, rather than assuming it means what it ought to say.
