    Rented Sector Scheme

    Is the Rented Sector Scheme a legal requirement to carryout EICR's on rented properties. I can not see why there needs to be another scheme to carryout EICR on rentals when you are an Approved Contractor.

    The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020

    What's everyone's take on this? Mandates inspect every 5 years by a QUALIFIED person, whereas EAWR and BS7671 state COMPETENT person. Obviously it won't stop cowboys but does raise the Competent v Qualified debate...
