Videos of EICRs on Youtube

David Stone

I am interested in comments from anyone on the youtube videos, there are several purporting to show EICR procedures. As most know I am currently researching this, and am collecting data.

Kind regards

    You trying to tell a thirty five year old electrician who is doing an EICR on an electrical installation that was installed two years before he was born in 1986 and is comparing it against the current edition of the Wiring Regulations that he should pass it as satisfactory because it complied with the regulations in 1984, when it is totally obvious that it doesn’t meet the current standards and it doesn’t meet the standards that he has complied with throughout most of his working life. There’s absolutely no reason why he should be familiar with the regulations that were current in 1984, on which of his training courses would he have been advised as to what they were? He definitely is not expected to have a copy of every edition of the Wiring Regulations ever published, just the current edition.

    You really are setting a really low level of compliance with the Wiring Regulations and not taking into account that the Government has stated that the 18th Edition of the Wiring Regulations is the edition to use.

    “electrical safety standards” means the standards for electrical installations in the eighteenth edition of the Wiring Regulations, published by the Institution of Engineering and Technology and the British Standards Institution as BS 7671: 2018”
