I am still shocked at the amount of companies or individual electricians are getting the PIR process wrong.
I tried to explain the process to someone again today and yet again there was major disagreement. They had electricians doing informal checks then reporting back to the client on cost of remedial work for defects. If it was affordable the client was having the work done at which point a satisfactory PIR is issued. I'm assuming they also issue an MWC or EIC.
Please pitch in if you agree or disagree with the following statement... The PIR is used to report on the current condition of the installation and your starting point is having a PIR carried out. You address any mandatory or optional coded failures then issue an MWC or EIC, these documents then get attached to the unsatisfactory PIR and it then becomes satisfactory, though you do not alter the PIR to say 'satisfactory'.
I have in the past managed a large team of electricians and was the registered NICEIC supervisor for the business so I've had this discussion with them in the past but unless anything has changed then you do not issue a second 'satisfactory' PIR after remedial works and you absolutely do not use the PIR process to certify installations.
