Failed EICR

Former Community Member
Former Community Member

Hi just want to know what you guys and girls do in the following situation. 

You've carried out an EICR its failed. 

Once the remedials have been carried out do you redo the original EICR so it's Satisfactory?

Or do you fill out minor works certs and give these to the customer along with the original failed report so once cross referenced  it results in being satisfactory. 

This has been bugging me for awhile now. 

Regards TS

    This is what the law says:

    R. 3

    (5) Where paragraph (4) applies, a private landlord must—

        (a) obtain written confirmation from a qualified person that the further investigative or remedial work has been carried out and that—

            (i) the electrical safety standards are met

    An MEIWC or EIC satisfies (a) above. The combination of the EICR and MEIWC/EIC satisfies (i). One could put in Part 1, paragraph 5 words to the effect, “The defects reported in the EICR dated xx/yy/zzzz have been remedied and the installation is now in a satisfactory condition.”

    As ever, it's a matter of contract.
