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

    Question 1.

    A potential customer asks for a quote to replace a consumer unit after you did an EICR for them, do you just copy the test results off the original EICR?

    Question 2.

    The same, but someone else did the EICR, do you copy their test results onto your EIC for the new consumer uni?

    1. Depends, when doing a EICR their is no requirement to carryout all tests as per an EIC. Only what the inspector deems necessary. 

    2. You can never assume anything when taking on someone else's work so in this instance would undertake full testing, just for my own peace of mind.
