Discuss ECIR requested by the supplier. in the Periodic Inspection Reporting & Certification area at ElectriciansForums.net

Seen it a few times before, usually goes like this.
Letter received from DNO
"Dead testing MUST be completed and a copy of the test results MUST be made available for the engineer on the day of connection otherwise connection cannot proceed"

Day of connection, to DNO engineer
"Hi mate, got your test results you need"
"My what ?, nah mate I don't need any of that. Where's the head going ?"
 
So the report is done and let's say that a C2 is found. Would DNO refuse to connect? Assume C3 is ok to connect and C1 not ok. Just wondering :)
 
You could do a EICR dead using R1R2 and IR (where possible), any circuits not passing muster could be left disconnected with the prior agreement of the client (you could make this a condition of the works)
Worst case - they could be left with a install with adequate bonding and 90% of the circuits not connected :D

From past experience- if it is not connected they deal with it sooner rather than later
