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.

  • I found out today by accident that if I go to the right place on line I can enter my vans registration, it will then show me when it last had an MOT and what the observations were. To my mind it's good to have some information open. Agreed it does raise concerns with privacy etc, maybe the exposed information should be circuit number, schedule item contravened and standard wording for that item. Plus details of organisation providing the report and report number.

  • I assume the Police use information from that same database when they do a PNC (Police National Computer) check
