Come across a few of these recently, EICRs that you're asked for an opinion on and all you can think of is asking if they have a printer that handles soft paper.

Highlights of yesterday's attempt included:

Limited to 30% of final circuits
"Currents (sic) feeding essential items shall not be isolated"
No entry's on "limitations agreed with"
No continuity readings at all - Lims in all R1R2 column.

Generally these docs are held by people who don't understand the document yet are responsible for administering it, building management co's etc.

So if the worst should happen, the defence in a court of law for the person who's duty it was to see that the electrical installation was in safe condition is to wave an EICR at the judge and say my butts covered m'lud.

What happens with such a laughably inadequate document?

The certs I've seen include scheme issued, plus non scheme docs from scheme members, non scheme, and those falsely claiming memberships.
