[QUOTE="phil d, post: 452714, member: 27126"] One of them rocked up at a friends house while I was there once, she'd bought the house to rent out and he was doing the gas check and I was doing an EICR, it was laughable. He had one of those socket and see loop testers, the one with the lights, rather than open the boiler to get a loop at the terminals he plugged into a socket and used a wander lead to test at the cover screws on the fused spur for the boiler, got a reading and pronounced it earthed! He wasn't impressed when I asked how the spur being earthed happened to prove the boiler was also earthed. Lets be honest, the earth from spur to boiler could have been disconnected for all he knew.
