[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 558177, member: 250"] I would suggest that 30-40 minutes is insufficient time to do an accurate EICR... Also having an apprentice would be more likely to increase the time taken as you would be teaching them about the inspection & testing you are doing, and what the acceptable readings actually are. If I get an enquiry asking how much I would charge to do an EICR at a domestic dwelling for a property I have never previously seen.. I would generally suggest to allow 30mins per circuit, plus one hour for investigations around the CU & Earthing & Bonding, plus a bit more admin time for documenting the results onto the EICR. (as a rule of thumb half a day is the starting point). There is a dedicated City & Guilds course plus a 190+ page guidance note book relating to inspection & testing...
