What's there looks more than a bit dubious to me...

C3 for no AFDDs - even though the premises aren't of the kind listed in 421.1.7 (HRRB, HMO, student accommodation or Care home). The reg may recommend AFDDs for other situations - but it's not a non-compliance not to follow that. EICRs should only list 'damage, deterioration, defects dangerous conditions and non-compliances which may give rise to danger'.  Ditto for some of the others.

"Main earth for gas mains" gives the impression that the author isn't familiar with modern wiring regs terminology (or possibly even concepts).

514.14 (mixed colours notice requirement ) doesn't exist in the current regs (it might be an older EICR of course).

Alternative supply notice is clearly bunkum if the installation has no alternative supply (as stated).

Shouldn't the next inspection label be something they supplied?

On the right hand checklist, I'm not sure why there are two outcome columns (the missing headings might help) with one being nothing but N/A, but N/A for both for 3.1.2 (Earthing conductor) seems rather unlikely. Section 4 seems to have an implausible number of passes - does the installation really include a non-conducting location and earth-free local equipotential bonding?

All in all the whole thing seems rather implausible.

The header of the column next to the item is just”comments”. So, yes AJ, we got a pass for a non-conducting location, earth-free equipotential bonding etc. The “N/A just means no comment made. 
Ach, perhaps I am being unkind. Maybe the lad did a good enough inspection but isn’t really appropriately familiar with anything outside the commonly applied measures. Still, he ought not to be offering a service in periodic inspection. 
Most licence applications here are handled by a barrister. I advised him of my reservations and left it with him as to whether it should be included in the bundle for court. He has decided to omit it!

Eek! I don't think that I had any legal representation when I got a Justices' licence circa 1981. We had problems with the fire escape routes - no you cannot open doors into a fire escape route, no you cannot have a step down immediately after a fire escape door, but nothing was ever said about the electrics.

We have draconian licensing laws in NI. No new pub or off sales licences are issued so those holding an existing licence can sell it for around £120K. The wee corner grocers has no chance. Restaurants, cinemas, bowling alleys, distillers etc require a licence and have to make application through the courts but don’t need to buy one. Whatever the nature of the licence, the court must be satisfied, inter-ailia,that the premises are safe and suitable. That means, planning permission, building control and fire safety with the latter backed by certificates for safety services and a determination that the electrical installation is in satisfactory condition. 

In terms of value for money that is one sheet of C3 and quite a lot of that look a bit suspect, and another of N/A for some stuff I'd have expected to see being looked at - was the guy actually there doing electrics  for very long, or just inspecting the new bar or barmaid ?
