I asked the NICEIC why a new scheme was to be set up to carry out private rental housing testing .
I find it ludicrous that we would install & certify half a semi detached house ..but would NOT be able to do an EICR in the other ( rented) half .
IF they wish to do rental testing ...will be paying into yet another scheme , doubtless to be visited every year by the Rental Testing Scheme Police ( RTSP) .
And even more stupid .....at present , if I rewired a rented house , I would design it , I would test it , I'd certify it , I'd be guaranteeing it , our sticker would be on the consumer unit ... I could be taking my Assessor to see it , ....................... but I will not be able to return at a change of tenancy to carry out a, EICR .
Not much different to how it is at the moment if you want to use "Logoed" Condition Reports for a PIR..
i.e.
I could have rewired a property 10 Years ago, Issued Logoed Electrical Certificate, Notified for Part-P etc..
(Used if for an annual assessment)..
But once it's 10 years old and customer asks me to pop back to do an inspection (as my sticker on the front says it is due)..
I can re-do my tests etc..
BUT... I can't give them a logoed Condition report for an installation that I installed & tested initially with a logoed EIC...
Unless I want to pay them more than just the basics for Part-P compliance....
Even though I am all C&G qualified for Insp&Test as per 2391 from 19years ago now!!!
:C
But I could have done a few alterations to the same installation..
And issued another full Logoed Installation certificate covering the exact same stuff I can't issue a Logo EICR!!!!

not really accurate. you couldnt give them a logo'd EICR, but there is nothing to stop you from doing one providing you dont use their logo certs. in this case, it looks as though you will need to be registered with another scam to do the EICR regardless of logo's
I didn't say I couldn't use un-logoed condition reports...
That is precisely what I have done and do do, as there is no econ
Yes but ONLY if the purpose of that EICR is "property rental"i know, and i do the same, use my own forms ithout the scams name. ut they are wanting it so you will have to be registered with a scam for EICR's to do them
Yes but ONLY if the purpose of that EICR is "property rental"
Any electrician who has no inspection & test qualification then cant issue any EICR. Simples!
Doc H.
basically, youre saying that i cant do EICR's...
Well it will be interesting when my 3 rentals require an inspection And some be-suited twonk tells me I cannot do it ( well, TRIES to tell me I can't )
