[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 561184, member: 6969"] Background: I stopped doing EICR's for rental properties a few years back when the Highland council decided my qualifications were too old and there is no way I am going back to college as many will know I am on the verge of retiring. I still do minor repair jobs for the letting agent. Today they have asked me to fit a new CU in the garage. Pretty simple, in old metal Wylex 3036 2 circuits, should be a simple job. But..... The agent enclosed a copy of the last EICR. It appears they did not test the garage circuits, they listed them as FI which unless it has changed recently that would mean the EICR is not "satisfactory" only they have given it a Satsfactory. Next issue, the garage CU is fed from a B10 MCB from the RCD side of a split load board. So the garage CU and garage circuits already have RCD protection, so what is actually wrong with a 3036 in that little fuse box? I am torn between telling the agent I think their other electrician is incompetent, or just doing the job. [/QUOTE]
