There are some ceiling fans(with light combined) in the circuits.It will be difficult to disconnect them. Is it okay to swich them off when doing IR? or just leave LIM blank as previously suggested? Thanks

Just IR test to earth leave the rest blank. Don't faff about disconnecting anything it is pointless just show your tests to earth.

Here is updated installation certificate guys! Please have a look and point out any area I need to improve.Thanks again.

@banny07 , mind if I ask where you got the EIC form from? I use electraform, which gives a professional looking cert, but is tediously slow to use, has a lot of unnecessary extra bits in it, and has glitches. What you have used looks nice and simple

I think he got it from ebay.
I believe the original source is here:

Electrical Installation Certificate

In order to support the electrical community we are providing FREE blank Electrical Installation Certificate forms that can be filled on your PC or can be printed and filled in by hand. PDF version also available for free.

www.electricaltestcertificates.co.uk

You need openoffice for those ones (also free).
I think they have PDF versions too.

I bought it off e*bay for about £15, comes with 4 diferent colours of certs.reports,reg books etc.on usb stick.

Electraform is worth using if you aren't doing many certs (and even if you are as well). Worth noting all costs are now +VAT though, hardly a deal breaker for its 5 credits for £5+VAT (£6)

There is a "measured kA" coloum in test result section on electaform. Could you please information on that. Thanks in advance.

I think it's next to the measured Zs, and it's simply a space to optionally record the prospective fault current that the Zs would allow. So if you had a Zs of 0.80 ohms the tester would probably also tell you a PFC of 300 Amps (based on a measured voltage of 240, so ohms law, 240 / 0.80 = 300 ). So if you wanted to in this example you could write 0.3 KA in there.
I leave it blank most of the time.

Thanks a lot! My mft did show this value but I did not note it so I will leave it blank at the moment but will note it next time. I am also struggling upload my tester detail, It shows in admin section but not in "circuits and test result" page. Thanks

I remember that problem Go to Admin > Engineers, add yourself, and specify which tester you are using in the Test Equipment section. I think you might also have to assign the job to yourself, then it all behaves as expected.
