Five-yearly EICR, closed out.
A 'satisfactory' EICR with a C2 still open is not satisfactory. Contractor competence, the inspection and every observation tracked through to remediation.
C1, C2, C3, closed out.
Long-lead inspection, short-lead remedials.
EICR cadence is unusual: five years between full inspections but C2 observations demand action in 28 days. We treat them as separate clocks.
- Year 0Periodic inspection
Engineer signs the cert. Observations land on the obligation page automatically, categorised as C1, C2 or C3.
- + 28 daysC2 remedial deadline
Each C2 has its own work-order deadline, independent of the next full inspection.
- Year 4 − 90Plan the next inspection
Long-lead reminder fires so an extended-shutdown window can be booked into the holiday calendar.
- Year 5Next inspection due
If we hit Year 5 with no fresh cert, the status pill flips to Overdue and surfaces on the dashboard.
From contractor selection to C1 closure.
Inspection scheduling
Five-yearly default, with shorter cycles for specific environments (swimming pools, agricultural, etc).
Contractor competence
NICEIC / NAPIT / ECA registration verified at upload time. Expired competence blocks the upload at source.
C1 / C2 / C3 observations
Each observation extracted from the certificate, prioritised by code. C1 = stop-the-line work order. C2 = 28-day remedial. C3 = tracked for next inspection.
Remedial work orders
Each C1/C2 spawns a tracked work order with the original observation attached. Closure requires evidence + sign-off.
Interim inspections
Optional 12 or 36-month interim checks scheduled where the previous EICR's recommended frequency mandates it.
Pre-expiry workflow
12 months out: warning. 6 months out: book the contractor. 90 days out: confirm. No more last-week panic.
