Videos of EICRs on Youtube

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.

    I take it then Andy, that lack of an RCD, which could be a socket or in the tails, means that an installation needs to be “rewired” completely? This seems to be the view of many, except that the cables themselves are normally in perfectly good condition, so why the disruption of everything to change them all? Why not just recommend correction of the defects found and then the issue a satisfactory notice? I ask because it would be the usual outcome for larger installations, partly on cost grounds, so why this attitude for domestic installations? 

     

    How on earth did you get to that conclusion?
