Should EICR (Electrical Instalation Condition Report) be stored nationally or locally in a digital format in a similar way to an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate)?

Should EICR (Electrical Instalation Condition Report) be stored nationally or locally in a digital format in a similar way to an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate)?

This would allow for people and companies to look up the information rather than it being hidden away.  Knowledable people could then have a chance to look at the results or at the previous results to make comparisons and have some historical imformation on the site.  Furthermore it would allow for the information to be checked at a later date should the requirement arise.  (Grenfell Tower inquiry is a casing point)  It has come to light that some of the EICR may not be wholly accurate.

    Yesyes. The report should be accessible to house insurance companies.

    I am glad that you concur Mark.

    More expense for homeowners.  More drive-by EICRs as people shop around to get the cheapest "satisfactory" certificate they can, otherwise they can't get insurance.

    What insurance that a homeowner pays requires an EICR?

  • in reply to Simon Barker

    Maybe the CPS (Competent Preson Schemes) and local building control need to check or spot check more of the EICRs?  Reprimand people doing low quality or false EICRs or maybe even fines.

    You can’t condition report under the EAS as CPS.

    that would be AC with PII insurance at a minimum of £250k.

    i agree with the spot checking but realistically you will never police this and any Facilities Management inly wants to see Satisfactory. They have no technical knowledge.
