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

    A older installation which complied when first constructed but does not now comply. Regs are not retrospective so if the install is defect-free then a Satisfactory must be given. 

    Logically that doesn't make sense to me. Say we had a 1888 installation which somehow had been perfectly preserved - so no sheathing on cables, no earthing, no ADS at all never mind no RCDs, unshuttered sockets, probably bare conductors under floor boards (knob and tube system) - would you really say that was satisfactory for service today?

    I think the phrase ‘Regs are not retrospective’ is being mis-understood - inspection and tests should always be done to the current standard.
