The EICR and competence. What are we going to do about the endless problems brought to the forum?

Your answers Gentlemen, please. This is indicating a serious problem in the Industry. Trust is now zero. I am disgusted with the behavior of these alleged "inspectors" who are dim, dumb, deaf and blind, and cannot read the BBB. It is not good enough is it?

    Anyway you’re missing the point, you don’t need to be a tradesperson with installation electrician qualifications or experience to do EICRs, indeed you don’t have to be an electrician doing installation domestic installation work to fo landlords EICRs though the guidance does say the inspector should be capable of doing the repairs.




    So there is no reason why the inspector should be on the membership roll of a Part P self certification scheme, the government decided that inspectors do not need to be registered with any schemes or organisations, so you cannot blame Certsure or NAPIT for not ensuring that standards are acceptable, they do not have a brief to do so.
