Well-spotted NDG. The tester has inputted 60497-3 on site instead of 60947-3 and the error wasn't picked-up by his boss when he supposedly checked the form.
From what I've learned about the company concerned, it is apparent that they are a one-stop "landlord compliance" service who offer not only electrical certification, but gas certification too. On their website they say that they:
provide certification services to landlords and letting agencies including PAT testing, EICR, gas safety, legionnaires assessment, smoke alarm testing and fitting.
And:
We will liaise directly with your tenants, carry out the work to the highest standards and all certification will be completed electronically and available same day to access and download any new or archived certificates at any point from your client login area.
However, the extremely poor quality of this EICR makes a complete mockery of the claim that they "carry out the work to the highest standards".
They continue:
We prove all certificates required to be fully compliant. Fast efficient service with documents available online within hours of the inspection. We can fully manage all your portfolio of properties or a simple buy as required service.
I'm quite certain that this was a 'let's get this report done as quickly as possible so we can get to our next job as we've got another five EICRs to do today so we can meet our target and avoid the boss' wrath type of job. The property, incidentally, is a three-bedroom flat. My fee for that would be £165.00. This is about as much as the over-saturated market will pay up here. A big factor in why prices for EICRs are so low in Glasgow is largely down to the dubious practices of companies such as the one who did this report. But you get what you pay for in the end.
