Extent of Electrical Installation Covered by this Report.

Zoomup

A potential customer has just handed me a copy of an E.I.C.R. The reason given for the  extent of the report is:

“Consumer Unit Only.”

The report seems to be genuine regarding the information provided. The reason for it is that the house is let to a tenant. A basic Test Schedule is included.

    Does the schedule of tests actually include the results form looking at the circuits from the CU, or just the CU itself ?

    One is an error of description - should read “ test of CU and wiring it supplies” the other is a description of a woefully inadequate process, where a great deal that should have been looked at for damage, and at least R2 wander tested to the ends, was not done.

    This does not sound like paperwork that can be used to imply the place is all tickety-boo and meets the current standards to be rented out.

    In any case, it needs clarifying and probably a re-inspection of the kind where ceiling roses or light switches and a few sockets get opened up to see what is behind them.
