EICR Valid?

Just for starters, the EICR Schedule of Inspections states the installation passed the requirements for 30 mA RCD protection when BG quite clear state in their documentation that there is not any RCD protection and there is not any RCDs in the consumer unit. 

A couple of personal observations, first off training and education of electricians is inadequate, there’s loads of people out and about doing domestic EICRs who lack appropriate experience and have received inadequate training.

Secondly, STROMA sold their Electrical Competent Person scheme to electricians as a bare bones, just enough to meet the requirements scheme without Trade Association meetings and magazine, etc. So electricians who joined the STROMA scheme missed out on the opportunity to interact with their peers and receive informal continuing professional development at trade association meetings and through the members magazine as members of NAPIT do.

 Hopefully now the STROMA scheme has been taken over by NAPIT the members might actually take the opportunities to get some continuing professional development and attend the trade association meetings and read the magazines to keep abreast with what’s going on in the world and what they should actually be doing.
