    Has anyone on here using the Napit Fast test software for EICR's noticed that in the section "Extent and Limitations of Inspection and Testing" there is a box marked "Extent of Termination Sampling" which needs to be filled in. This must be a very recent addition, or it's been longer than I...

    I was just about to book an EICR inspection for my property when the decorator said he didn't think the fuse board would pass.
