We've been agreeing about that (together with major problems associated with the inspections and the absence of any challenge/appeal process) for the last 3 or 4 years.

However, unfortunately, 'the law id the law'.

And as I’ve noted on many occasions the numpties who came up with it deserve to be held to account - but they haven’t

I assume we are agreed that such is what really needs to happen, but who are you suggesting should do this 'holding to account'? Are you volunteering?

FWIW the 28 day rule is so ill thought out.

I doubt it was thought out at all - some faceless bureaucrat in Westminster, who knew nothing about electrical installations believed that the Wiring Regulations were totally prescriptive and unambiguous, and plucked the 28-day figure out of the air.

That used to be the case, when EICRs had no teeth at all. However, if it's a rented property, then the legislation we now have brings that into question. The legislation requires the landlord to provide the tenant with a copy of any inspection report, and also triggers the requirement for any C1s or C2s to be remedied within 28 days - without any apparent mechanism for challenging/appealing against the EICR (hence the need for 'remedial action'), even if it is "bad".

And the easiest thing to fix it may be something like writing: "earth wire fitted" rather than the actual truth of: "earth wire existing".
