EICR Remedials Invalidating the Report

Tolly

Hi all, 

Some clarification please.

General scenario: A domestic rental property fails an EICR. Remedial works are carried out and a certificate for the works is issued. It's been stated elsewhere that if remedial works are carried out, this invalidates the EICR, so another EICR should be carried out after the remedial works are carried out and the certificate obtained.

Does this seem the correct approach? Does the remedial work invalidate the EICR? Does it matter? Is it not acceptable to just have the failed EICR and have the certificate as evidence of having had the repairs carried out? 

Thanks

    My understanding of the regulations is that the electrician doing the remedial works merely needs to write a short report certifying that they have fixed all the defects listed in the EICR (apart from C3s) with details of what was fixed and how. Along with an EIC/MEIWC as appropriate.

    Thanks for the replies. This is my understanding, also. I've never heard before that remedials invalidates a report, so another needs doing after the remedials, but the source seems confident of their assertion. Anyway, thanks.
