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.

are of particular interest, ignore any comments I may have left, I want your comments.

 

Kind regards

David

    Note that the landlord regs require the inspection to be done by an electrically competent person, but places no constraint on how the testing should be done. In particular it doesn't have to be to BS 7671. So you could hire an electrician to write a report stating how closely the electrical installation follows the principles of fung sui and you would have complied with the regs.

    There is a separate requirement that that the rented installation must comply with BS 7671:2018 at all times, with no allowance for older work. So it is illegal to rent out a property with sockets not RCD protected (although the government guidance says otherwise, which a landlord could use as a defence).
