First why do you need a valid EICR in two weeks? are you letting the property?The issue is that I need a valid EICR in a maximum of two weeks, and I'm wondering if there's any chance he could have signed this off as satisfactory, considering that the dwelling's electrical installation is protected by an RCD, which, if I understand correctly, would isolate the system within the required 0.4 seconds in case of an Earth fault.
The RCD protection will not work effectively/efficiently without a satisfactory Earth.
Looks like your only route is to install an earth rod and delay type RCD as pc1966 suggests.
Your electrician should have issued an EICR with the content noted, this at least shows willing on your part if you are letting out the apartment.
