BS7671:2018:Amendment 2:2022 Electrical Installation Certificate Schedule of Inspections.

Sparkingchip

In the new edition of BS7671 the Electrical Installation Certificate Schedule of Inspections covers four pages from page 515 to page 518, on the certificates I use it gets condensed to two pages of tick boxes.

Every time I do a EIC or EICR it feels like I am doing a multiple choice exam and sometimes I have to do several in a day.

I have had a look at the downloadable IET certificates, I nearly missed the EIC Schedule of Inspections it is so brief, is this all that is actually required?

    I will just point out that Domestic EICR covers thirteen pages, there’s a cover page then another twelve pages that I completed.

    You may appreciate from that why I am suffering Electrical Certificate fatigue, there’s just too much on them for what they are trying to convey, I don’t believe that the majority of customers ever read them past where it says Satisfactory.

    A customer laughed at me on Wednesday, most jobs I try to complete the certification by hand and give it to the customer before leaving the job, so I was on my knees in his hallway after installing a complete new shower circuit and was leaning on my hop up completing a four page hand written certificate on a NCR pad.

    As I rattled through the certificate and schedule I read out what I was being asked to enter, as I worked my way down the schedule of inspections I heard him laugh and then say “*** hell”.

    I have exactly the same thoughts!
