Electrical Installation Condition Report (electrical certificate)
There are changes to your electrical installation condition report or otherwise known as a electrical certificate, below we have highlighted the changes by each section so make sure you don’t get caught out.
Section D (Extent and limitations of inspection and testing)
More text has been added here to the electrical certificate so that information can be added in regards to the roof space and the accessibility to the electrical equipment with that space.
Section J (Particulars of installation referred to in the report)
This part of the electrical installation condition report now includes tick boxes for the main bonding conductor connections to not only gas and water pipes but also structural steel, oil pipes, lightning protection and any other parts to ensure all electrical connections have been checked for polarity.
Section K (Observations)
“FI” is now recognised as a code which means “further investigation”, for this part of the electrical installation condition reports the yes and no column for this has been deleted but the code it self can be added for clarity to ensure it is not missed when carrying out remedial works.
Note 9 for the notes of the person producing the electrical installation condition report
The place in which the electrical testing has revealed a deficiency that could not be fully identified due the the limitations set out for the electrical inspection, The note shows where a further investigation is required and a code should be given of either Code 1 (Danger Present or Code 2 (Potential Danger). If the is the case the FI classification should be recorded in section K as explained above.
Notes 7 and 8 are for recipients receiving the electrical installation condition report
Here the notes refer to a skilled person competent in electrical installation work instead of a competent person, this has been done so that it is pointed out that it should be a qualified electrician carrying out the remedial works rather than a unqualified tradesman.
Note 10 are for the recipients post remedial testing of the electrical certificate
Here the notes refer to a skilled person competent in electrical installation work instead of a competent person, this has been done so that it is pointed out that it should be a qualified electrician carrying out the remedial works rather than a unqualified tradesman.
Additions have also been made to the electrical installation condition report under the schedule guidance for the inspector and also for domestic and similar premises with upro a 100A supply, these changes are more comprehensive checklists than they were previously.
