EICR Valid?

Former Community Member
Former Community Member

Hello,

I recieved an EICR for my Private Rented property from the landord. However, the post code of the address is wrong. Is the EICR still valid? It was done over a year ago, so Is it allowed to be corrected via just changing the post code or do the whole electrics need to be retested/inspected?

    Depends on your appetite for being seen as a trouble maker.

    Napit have a reputation to maintain  - back in the days when folk could handle longer words it was called the 

    National Association of Professional Inspectors and Testers  after all….

    I'd be tempted to ask politely  if they consider this level of inspection, with no actual results attached. to be a valid exercise for  ensuring the safety of a flat as required by the “Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020”.

    They do have formal complaint form and there is more about using that here but in your shoes I'd suggest you keep the powder dry to begin, and just ask more generally as a technical inquiry

    (info@napit.org.uk)

     if they would consider the level of the attached inspection is about right to meet the legal requirements of the recent  “Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020” , because  as supplied to you it seems to be missing all the actual test results and gives  passes for some non existent items, like the RCD and SPD, and for all the use it is to you, it might as well relate to another flat completely.

    If you like making waves, then try a similar line with the local authority, but take care.

     Let us know what you decide and how it goes. 

    Mike.
