(a) All electrical installation work will comply with BS7671 and any amendments in force at the time of the works.
(b) All electrical installation work will comply with applicable Building Regulations in force at the time of the works.
(c) Electrical Installation and Minor Works certificates and Building Regulations notifications issued by RFCSES cover only those works installed by RFCSES.
(d) Where work is to extend or modify existing circuits, costs quoted assume existing circuits are safe and in adequate condition. Any works required to bring these circuits up to standard will be at additional cost.
(e) No addition or alteration will be carried out to rubber insulated (VIR) cables
(f) Where carpet or floor coverings require lifting, best endeavours will be made to avoid damage and to refit to an acceptable standard. However, employing a specialist fitter may be prudent, to effect a fully satisfactory reinstatement.
(g) Unless agreed before hand, chases to walls, etc will be left un-filled. Final finishing of skim coat plaster and final decoration is excluded.
(h) RFCSES will endeavour to undertake installation work to a clean standard. However, some additional vacuuming and cleaning down of surfaces should be expected afterwards. Any equipment susceptible to damage from dust (eg video or computer equipment) must be removed from the work area prior to RFCSES’ arrival.

(j)Commercial customers, their employee or agent acting on their behalf who instructs RFCSES to carry out work also agree to these terms and conditions in full.
2.New Consumer Units:
(a) Installation of new consumer units (fuse board) is subject to the whole installation being tested to ensure it is safe to be connected to a new consumer unit. This is a legal requirement under Part P Building Regulations. The basic cost for this is included in the installation cost.
(b) Any faults found during the above testing which are deemed unsafe, must be rectified prior to that circuit being reconnected to any new consumer unit. Any costs for such work are not included. Such issues will be brought to the clients attention as soon as is practical during works.
(c) In particular it may be necessary to install new main services bonding to water, gas or oil supplies. This is especially common on properties built during or prior to the early 1970s and again these are at additional cost unless agreed otherwise beforehand.
3. Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) aka Landlords Certificate.
{These will be listed in the report under section 4 “Extent and Limitations”}
Extent
The inspection and testing has been carried out in accordance with BS 7671 & Section 3.8.4 of Guidance Note 3, 100% of all traceable circuits will be electrically tested and the results recorded; with a 25% sample of equipment on each circuit, being internally inspected. This sample may be increased depending on findings. Cables concealed within trunking and conduits, or cables and conduits concealed under floors, in inaccessible roof spaces and generally within the fabric of the building or underground, have not been visually inspected. No Portable Appliance Testing (PAT). No testing or commenting on Smoke Alarms. Limitations
Characteristics of the primary supply over current device (as sealed by DNO). No testing of HVAC control cables, as part of the appliance rather than fixed wiring. No confirmation of the routing of cables in prescribed zones or with mechanical protection, as impracticable. No lifting of floor boards. Limited inspection of loft space, due to H&S concerns. No testing of untraceable circuits. these will be disconnected from the their over-current protection device (OCPD) so that if the cable is cut, damaged or in some other way dangerous the danger is removed, upon discovering what has been disconnected the circuit can be reconnected and the testing can be carried out. No commenting on smoke or co alarms as they are out of the scope of BS7671.
Agreed With
This section of the EICR will be populated with the name of the customer requesting the report.
