How to do an EICR start to finish - Electrical Safety Inspection and Test 

Great video Mark Am i being suspicious about it being a builder bodge.... Is that not the shortest ring main in the world??? All the C.P.C.s twisted together in the same sheath blah blah blah

Can’t help thinking we are wasting our time with these EICRs I’m so fed up with having to correct work where the customer has had a satisfactory EICR and the installation has been in a dangerous condition. With false results. In the last case it was obvious the guy who gave the Certificate had just done it from his arm chair without even checking anything at the property . 90% of the metal lights had no earth . Some lights wired in bell wire . No earth bonding the list goes on. It was for a property my customer had just bought. Even my customers solicitor said these things are often not worth the paper they are written on and you won’t get anywhere trying to report it as no one’s interested. What sad times we live in .

Good video and for EICR testing 👍

Working away from home and got bored? Just make a quick video 😂😂😂 Awesome work as always Mark!

Good vidya Mark, having worked away a lot I have spent many a night in a premier inn and thought it would be good testing this cause everything is in the one room, and you just showed me it!! It’s clearly a pre 2004 install going by the colours and the db so there will be a few c3s due to the change in standards. It was fine back in the day. A bit like putting a classic car thru a modern MOT. All the best.

If I have just come in to a property, via inheritance but have no records of previous electrical works on the property should I get an EICR or is there something else? Not sure if I want to sell it, rent it or keep it at the moment.

Hi I enjoyed your video very informative you certainly work well with a methodical approach. When testing I.R on the socket circuit, i noticed you tested L-PE and N-PE first, and then anticipated a low reading testing between L-N likely due to the presence of the USB. sockets. I know generally it would be impractical/time consuming to link out at the usb sockets to correctly test the IR between L-N. Out of curiosity did you not record a value on the test sheet for IR between live conductors? Testing down each live conductor down to earth was enough in your opinion for the circuit to be satisfactory. Its not a trick question just happy to get your thought on it. Kind regards

No rcd on light 5 amp sockets

Great presentation.

Mark GN3 makes referance to live to cpc is live and neutral togeter to cpc.

C3 for no additional protection 30ma RCD. I’m guessing when the installation was installed it was not a requirement? With the mcb supply this board are you saying it could trip first before the main switch as it has a lower amp rating? Thanks for the video it’s great to see how other people do there stuff 👍

Yes good video but god you go on a bit mate and that looks like 6mm feeding DB mate try and cut waffling down
