[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 393340, member: 1607"] Welcome to the forum, you need to be aware that an Electrical Installation Condition Report is as per its title. One persons interpretation of the condition of an electrical installation in relation to any immediate or potential dangers and the applicable wiring regulations relevant to that type of installation. There is also an agreed level of inspection and testing between the person doing the inspection and the person ordering the work. The person issuing the report will also state the next recommended inspection date based on their findings. So two companies could quote a price for a periodic inspection of a property but the level of inspection and testing may not be the same and the duration before the next inspection due may not be the same. So you need to ensure you are specifying for the same work when comparing quotes from different electricians. Some insurance companies may stipulate they prefer EICR's done by members of one or more particular trade bodies, so you may also need to check with your insurance company as well. Doc H. [/QUOTE]
