Thanks John. It used to be if the inspector thought that if something that required further investigation could give rise to danger then it merited an FI and the report result would be unsatisfactory.
Now only C1s and C2s can make it unsatisfactory, an FI could be issued but it can't make the report unsatisfactory on it's own. Of course an inspector can still make a judgement call on this if they find it necessary but they would not be following the guidance.
The whole of the guidance notes for EICRs has been rewritten and I think further guidance on this should be included in GN3, Graham has said it will not be included which I find odd.
As I said on my previous post we have the issue of the inspector not being able to determine if the installation is "satisfactory" without further investigation. Not an issue if the installation has C1s and/or C2s as the installation will be "unsatisfactory".
So what to do? If you are able to write in to your software box, other than the usual drop down binary choice write in "undetermined". Then in your summary write up what needs to be determined before the installation can be deemed "satisfactory". Your report, your signature and you are personally accountable.
I can provide examples if they are needed?

John, that would be interesting. The experts in Wednesday's webinar were a bit stumped when it came to examples.
It seems to me that if FI (or undetermined) is being considered, the job has not been completed, even if it means that I have to return tomorrow with a longer ladder.
