Am I qualified to carry out an EICR?

Hi


I'm new to this forum. However I have attained the old C and G 2381 16th edition and c and g 2391 inspection and test. As I understand I am able to do PIRs. 


In the past I have done PIRs to my own property to keep my hand in so to speak but as a Landlord I'm trying to find someone to do EIRCs to my own tenanted properties.


It struck me that I should theoretically be able to do them myself.


I have ordered the following books


18TH edition

Onsite guide up to date copy

Guidance note 3 uo to date copy

Buildjng regs for 18th edition

The NAPIT EICR code reader


I have downloaded the forms fir the EICR. They are a bit of a development on the old PIR formaf but with the help of the guidance notes and some example forms I am hoping I'll be able to meet the criteria.


As far as test equip,ent is concerned I have a Fluke 1653 multi tester.


Before I bother my tenants I intend to run through my own property first.


Thank you jn advance

    You seem quite confident about this. Perhaps you would be able to recommend an exam centre where I can just sit the exam without having to sit the whole course?

    Back in 2019 you could do exam only. It was not readily advertised, but some gave the facility. If I remember it was about £80/£90 or there a bouts. ClarksonsEvans was one. ?
