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.

    Some insurance companies do ask for a current EICR for the issue of a policy or renewal, others wait for an event and then ask for it and refuse to pay claims if it is not produced.

    I remember a few years ago I&Ting a factory before a log Christmas holiday. My client had a letter saying that there would not insure the premises over the Christmas period when the premises were going to be un-occupied without a satisfactory PIR (it was a long time ago).  A couple of electricians followed me around rectifying the serious defects. My client got his satisfactory PIR on Christmas Eve.

    You might want to have a detailed look at your own house policy to see what it says about maintaining your services.?
