My previous thread of the same title has been locked. There was some very helpful information and also some arguments which I assume is what lead to it being locked.
I still have some on topic info to follow up on.
The NICEIC responded to my question regarding the EICR report I was given clarifying that a new CU would generally not be required simply as it does not meet current regs. Their response mentioned "Approved Contractors" however my electrician was registered on the NICEIC site as an approved "Domestic Installer".
My request for clarification was:
Hi,
Thank you for your clear and helpful response, it is much appreciated.
The EICR report in question relates to a domestic installation and the company in question is registered on the NICEIC site as a Domestic Installer.
Your email below refers to registered Approved Contractors, can you confirm that should the issue not be resolved directly with the contractor, that the NICEIC complaint form and process is still applicable to NICEIC registered Domestic Installers please?
I have just received their response:
Thank you for your reply.
The NICEIC Domestic Installers Scheme is designed to cover the requirements of the building regulations for electrical installation work in a dwelling and therefore does not cover EICR’s.
Although the contractor may well be competent to carry out this type of work as we have not assessed him for competence under this scheme he is not covered by any NICEIC assurances or warranties.
For registered contractors who have assessed y us for this type of work please refer to Approved Contractors.
Regards
