Reading the op, that's fine if you are the person who has identified issues, agreed remedial's then signed a satisfactory EICR. Different story if somebody else comes in. Eg mot test failed (seek second opinion) , go to the next station, you will pay another test fee.
 
Sorry, not sure if my original post confused some of you. When I say reissue EICR I don't mean carry out another EICR and charge again, I mean rewrite the original certificate without the codes and new results (r1 + r2, rcd test etc) for work carried out to rectify faults along with issuing EICs where necessary
 
I think the time scale between the initial and later EICRs need taking into consideration as to whether a retest is required.

That really isn't the correct way for it to be done, however.
 
An EICR is not a cert, though. Did you actually certify the work you carried out as required by BS7671?

Absolutely, I certified changing a couple of damaged accessories, a cu blank, and some minor tidying up.
:rolleyes:

I do apologise most humbly for not using the correct terminology, it is absolutely unforgivable of me to call an EICR a cert.

What's the weather like over there in pedant corner.

It's not being pedantic though - it's important to understand that you are NOT certifying any work you have done as required by BS7671 by using an EICR.
 
So we took over an EICR with maybe 150 problems. I worked through them all retested and issued a certificate either EIC or MEIWC as apt. We then transferred the new figures to the original EICR removed the codes of the original problems and issued a satisfactory EICR to the client. There does not seem to be any other logical way to deal with this unless I am missing something (not unusual for me I might add) So as work progressed and problems were fixed we have a cert for any work done to rectify to back up the new EICR.

What you are missing is that there is no logical reason to issue a second EICR. The first one outlines the faults etc. found, and the subsequent certification proves that it all has been dealt with.

So why a second EICR?
 
What you are missing
A thought provoking insight, I will have to think about that. However because there are about 200 tenants and many want a certificate for their unit for insurance purposes that would be the reason we issue a second satisfactory certificate. We cannot ask the CEO to give each client 300 pages of EICR saying unsatisfactory with attendant corrections noted on other certs. to give to their insurance company. We give The front pages and their unit. Any way around that ? I could see it on a single domestic....but messy.
