New EICR - editable PDF certs

[Mark_Burgess]

He is after EIC and MWC.

They are on the forum, but are NOT accessible to all members due to their location.

I got it wrong, I was thinking of different certs, the EIC is available for all, you just have to look for it.

You found it?
Cool.

Don't forget they were produced before the pre-amendment was released, there may be a reg reference wrong, can't quite remember.

So is there any chance someone can tell me where to find an editable version of an Electrical Installation Certificate. Pretty please.

 

[ebow72]

Not that I am endorsing Elecsa in anyway, shape or form, here are their version of the certs needed.
Elecsa - Useful Downloads
Providing you have the right version of Adobe, you can edit and fill in no probs.
Failing that, you can get some software called Form Fill, which is also pretty good and its free..
I do hope this helps and doesn't get anyone's back up...
Cheers Ian

Have you gone through the whole thread?

 

[ganzo]

Thanks very much guys. Much appreciated.

 

[Nik_lamb]

Have now thanks again Steve.

 

[B16 Tom]

Wow Thanks

 

[Mark_Burgess]

I am sure that some people using an iPhone or iPad for these certs, had a problem with emailing them to a customer but they were still editable.
I am using an app called PDFReader Pro, they have done some updates recently to our favour, when the cert has been filled out there is a send via email button, upon selecting that there is 3 choices. The third choice is Flattened Copy, that sends the customer a Un-Editable PDF.

 

[s_mit]

Just to add....Excellent work Steve....again
Can't say the same about all those tick boxes on the EICR though ...LOL....

Top job Steve, saves all the paperwork flying around the van mate !!!

Cheers, Revelap:smug:

 

[Mark_Burgess]

A couple of amendments.

Both the single board and multiple board EICR's now have an area under your logo at the top to put your address. For some reason or other, when inserting a report number in the multiple board pop up screen, it adds it to the area to put your address, just overwrite it with your address or do not add a report number on the pop up screen.

The section on page 5 where you input your test instrument details, has now been modified to allow more text characters and multi line.

Cheers Mark, it would appear this may have been from my observations, much appreciated either way! ;-)

 

[Mark_Burgess]

I noticed the comment you put about them so made the changes, unless I get feedback from people like your self, the little things like that wont get sorted.

Thanks Mark - Is there any way you can put the header in page 3 EICR - to include 'Item No', 'Classification Code' and Further Investigation Required'? I don't mean to sound picky, but without the heading they don't really make sense to a customer.

Great work anyway and thanks.

SOLUTION TO EVERYONE THAT CAN NOT SAVE A PDF!!!!!!

The is a freeware program called cutePDF, I have used it in the past, and have just tried it.

Here is the link ​

CutePDF - Convert to PDF for free, Free PDF Utilities, Save PDF Forms, Edit PDF easily.

Download and install where I have highlighted below.

Untick the toolbar option when it wants you to install.
After it is installed it says it needs to download and install another program that works with it, this is correct and you must do it.

When all done and installed, open the PDF as before ignore the you can not save message and fill out the form, go to FILE >> SAVE AS >>> CutePDF and then print, this should bring up a pop up box of where you want to save it, then voila!! It is done!

Hi all, my first post too, i do have an editable EIC, i have exported as a pdf, but the original was made in openoffice and this site doesnt allow the uploading of .odt files

i can have them in other colours, and also the "domestic" variant of it too

 

[oldtimer]

Mark just to add that although your files say that you can only print a copy instead of saving there is a way to do it with Mypdfconvertor
this little freeware acts like a virtual printer lets you save as a pdf but at the same time your documents think it printing it.

 

[Welchyboy]

hi Mark

is there any way that you can adjust it to drag and paste info into multiple boxes at the same time to save time filling in repetitive details like on test sheets etc

thanks and good work!

 

[topcat]

Have had a look at these look good thanks for the help

I have NO IDEA if that can be done, it is a basic PDF document to me.

I could probably add a drop down box in the Ins Resistance tests as there is a bit of room, but not much else.

 

[Worcester]

If you want to 'save' the pdf's so that they can't be edited when emailed to customer, then add this in - it bascially installs as a printer, so you can now print anything to a pdf , inculding an existing pdf, vopila, a now 'fixed' document, with the form filled in.

I save them with the certificate number in the file name

http://www.tracker-software.com/PDFX4SA_LE_H.zip

That's Version 4 Lite of PDF Xchange Viewer- it works as a printer deiver so just appears as any other printer does, other versions tie you in to trialling / buying the pro version. So check out the main site, make sure you use the above link though to get version 4 lite.

 

[mydigitalhome]

If you are an Ipad user look at the NICIEC app. Forms nice and easy once finished email to yourself and client. Hopefully all the other companies will look at this at bring out there own versions with correct branding on etc. Things can only get better

top man steve

 

[paulc1985]

does anyone realise that the regulation some of the numbers on the inspection schedule are wrong

 

[Mark_Burgess]

does anyone realise that the regulation some of the numbers on the inspection schedule are wrong

Lets us know and they can be put right.

 

[paulc1985]

on schedule of inspections 3.1 should be (542.1.2.1;542.1.2.2) 3.2 should be (542.1.2.3) 3.5 should be (543.3.2) 3.7 should be (543.3.2;544.1.2) 3.8 should be (543.3.2) 4.8 should be (612.13.2) 4.14 should be (421.1.3) 4.17 should be (521.5.1) 5.2 should be (522.8.5) 5.5 should be(section 523) 5.10 should be (522.6.101) 5.11 should be (522.6.101;522.6.103) 5.12 bullet point should be (522.6.102;522.6.103)

 

[Mark_Burgess]

Bleedin hell, okay, leave it with me and I will update it, to be fair to TesterSteve when he created these he did it before the printed book was out, I only update them as and when necessary I don't use them myself!

 

[paulc1985]

great thanks i would love to have an updated one

 

[Mark_Burgess]

Okay, here it is amended, hopefully!

Thanks paulc1985 for listing the errors, it takes feedback from yourselves to keep these in order!

Let me know if I have missed anything.

 

[HMCCARTHY]

Is there any chance we can have the updated version in the other colours other than blue? Although they are rather fetching in blue

 

[paulc1985]

yeah green if possible

 

[paulc1985]

just noticed on the inspection schedule all have been changed except 3.5 (543.3.2) it still says (543.3.3)

Sorry, I am not accepting colour change requests, its more aggro, file management, hard drive space, etc, etc, than I can be bothered to deal with. And I have to use a Windows machine to do it, I hate Windoze..

 

[dougpryde]

Thanks all useful

 

[malcolmsanford]

Bleedin hell, okay, leave it with me and I will update it, to be fair to TesterSteve when he created these he did it before the printed book was out, I only update them as and when necessary I don't use them myself!

I always try to follow threads that I have contributed to and this one keeps coming back up.

I noticed though that Mark is getting quite a few requests for this and that, and he always comes through and does a great job ...................especially as it seems he don't even use the forms for himself

What I have noticed is that there is a mark lack of Thank yous for him. Now I'm pretty sure Mark is not one of these guys that does something wanting something back in return, and I'm sure he does this because not only does he enjoy doing it, but he is a thoroughly decent and nice guy.

So even though I don't use these forms either out here ................I'm going to say

THANK YOU MARK FOR A FANTASTIC JOB YOUR DOING!!!!!
