Achieving electrical compliance requires that at least 3 criteria are met:
- A completed and verified Electrical Inspection Condition Report (EICR), based on BS7671
- Proof that any Observations and Recommendations (remedial work) identified in the EICR have been addressed; specifically C1, C2 and FI’s
- Suitable test coverage, in other words, if there are 100 circuits in the building an agreed percentage of the circuits that are a accurate representation of the building should have been inspected and tested.
If an EICR is not completed (signed off), there is no proof that a suitable inspection has been done and danger may remain. If the remedial actions have not been completed, the building remains non-compliant. Finally, if a suitably representative sample of the building is not inspected and tested, there will remain circuits that are not tested or inspected and hence potential for electrical danger.
To support this process EDIS provides:
- Creation, storage and ‘traffic lighting’ of EICR’s
- An Action Required tracker list that records, reports and monitors remedial works
- A Test Coverage report showing the last and next test dates for the installation
Smarter EI&T® is a better way to report on the compliance status; by tracking circuit-level compliance EDIS allows very granular reports down to the compliance of individual circuits, the % test coverage for an area or building and the latest remedial work status.
