Potentially quite a bit. Any faults found during IV can generally be pinpointed quickly and with certainty, after all you'll know the exact cable runs, have a fairly good idea on external influences that could've caused your issue and thr like, however with EICRs youre effectively starting from scratch, with no idea on cable routes, installation methods, customer have-a-go handiwork and the like. You'll also likely see a snake orgy more often than not whereas with IV you're (hipefully) making the installation easier to navigate and neater.Thanks for the responses guys.
The 2392 is the initial verification only, and they say it's for those inexperienced with testing.
Really, how much more difficult is the periodic inspection? So much more difficult they apparently had to separate the two so people could pass.
Is this the reality of it? How much harder is periodic inspection than initial verification?
While the 2 do share a lot of fundamentals in terms of testing, thry are drastically different from one another. One is verifying against a design (and if we're not then why not?) the other is ascertaining if the installation is fit for continued service (and checking against a design if possible)
2392 if I remember rightly teaches testing where 2391-50 is Periodic Inspection with some experience
