Landlord EICR

ebee

So we now on AMM2 which we can choose to use mnow  and in September we must use for an EICR.

However that landord act thingy just state to the 18th and no mention of any amendments.

So do they get I & T to the 18th or 18th Amd 1 or 18th Amd 2 today then?

    You I&T to the current BS 7671, so just now you (or your customer) have a choice. Whether what was compliant then, but no longer is now, is a C3 or C2 depends upon how out of date is the installation.

    What the landlord does with the EICR is his business, not yours.

    Yes but as I see it (others may disagree) the 18th Edition solely is mentioned in the Landlord Law then it prohibits the 19th when it comes in ounless parliament changes it or there is permission in place to allow the  Secretary  of state to vary it.

    At the very least, you follow the test procedures in the current edition. So for example, you test RCDs at 1 x IΔn AC only.

    I don't see any practical difficulties because items which were compliant, but no longer are would be coded C3.

    I don't foresee any backward steps, but if for the sake of argument, the 19th Edn prohibited protective bonding, you might still award only C3. If C2, it would have to be disconnected, so I don't see a huge practical problem.

    In any event, there will be a civil servant somewhere who will be keeping an eye on things.
