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

    It needs to be noted that in the first video the EICR is being undertaken as part of void maintenance, so there’s no one living it it.

    If people were living in the flat and there were extension leads trailing around the rooms because of insufficient socket outlets then we would be making a recommendation for improvement.

    Regulation 553.1.7 of BS 7671 states:
    “Where mobile equipment is likely to be used, provision shall be made so that the equipment can be fed from an adjacent and conveniently accessible socket-outlet, taking account of the length of flexible cable normally fitted to portable appliances and luminaires”.

    Recommending using the redundant storage heater circuits as new socket circuits is a sound recommendation to enable the installation of additional sockets at minimal cost and can be justified by quoting the Wiring Regulations.
