EICR Observations and Recommendations webinar - Free to attend!

Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) Observations and Recommendations


DATE: Tuesday, 18 October 2022
TIME: 3 - 4:30pm (BST)

An EICR reports on the condition of the electrical installation of the integral wiring to highlight any safety shortcomings, defects or deviations from the current revision of the electrical regulations BS 7671.

During this webinar, speakers will discuss observations and recommendations when carrying out an electrical installation condition report (EICR) and ask the question: How can we ensure that our recommendations are as clear as possible, so that the recommendations are acted on and not overlooked. They will also discuss changes to the model forms in Amendment 2 of BS 7671:2018+A2.

  •  It was a bit like sitting at a separate table in a pub and listening with mild interest to the ruminations of three guys at the next table but wishing all the while that you could interrupt to correct a number of points. 

    Nonetheless, and without being deliberately patronizing, I had to chuckle at a few of their responses. 

    Having said that, I wouldn't care to argue with them. Afterall, the topic is just so subjective that trying to neatly package codes for all circumstances is utterly futile. 

    An exercise I often use when someone, for example, gives a code 2 is to ask them to describe in detail the danger envisaged and how that danger may arise. It is quite amazing how many chaps cannot see beyond what BS7671 requires! For many inspectors a periodic inspection is just an initial verification with codes!

    Were I one of the three lads, I imagine there would be plenty howling in protest at my stupidity, so good on them for being brave enough to tackle such a thorny subject!

    Thank you fellas and I hope you continue to put presentations together.
