I’m guessing you charge for full EICR prior to advising a board change? I’ll do a pre survey of standard things like main earth, bonding, condition of accessories (age) advise customer that should any faults be found whilst testing then additional cost involved. Also you test it after completing consumer unite has been changed and this particular issue would have been picked up if done properly.
Not at all, and when I am conducting an EICR, it’s not a 40 minute drive by, full of LIMS and dodgy recommended remedial works used as a cash generator. It’s a thorough inspection that I charge accordingly for.
Now if you read my post properly, you’ll see i stated that a full range of tests needs to be completed prior to energising the board, IE, on completion of the board change and not just bang test it.
