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

    OM, your point is not borne out by the EICRs I have been sent, many are very bad. How is this? What comeback is there if the Inspector does not have the necessary qualification? How about 2395 but NO proper experience? Why does the Inspector HAVE to use their book of codings, does that sound like experience to you?

    As for comeback, an FOI request might tell how many firms were sanctioned for not having qualifications/experience and the extent of those sanctions. But as we know, no qualifications are actually required to do EICRs, and you don't have to be a scheme member to do them.

    I suppose the codebook is a place to start, a yardstick. And they do seem to be pushing adherence to it according to the assessor my last inspection. However if you can back up a non-conforming coding with reasons, using skill and judgement, i don't think you would incur sanctions.

    Note i am a NICEIC Domestic installer, don't do EICRs but do do remedials.
