- What is an electrical inspection report?
- An electrical inspection report (also called an Electrical Installation Condition Report, or EICR in the UK) is a formal document produced after a qualified electrician inspects a building's fixed wiring and electrical equipment. It records every circuit tested, whether each item passed or failed the relevant safety standard, any observed defects or deterioration, and the inspector's overall verdict. Landlords, homeowners, and businesses typically need one every 5–10 years, or before selling or renting a property. This tool generates the standard layout used across most jurisdictions: header block, line-by-line equipment table, observations section, and a signed declaration.
- Is the PDF generated on my device or sent to a server?
- Everything is done entirely in your browser using the open-source pdf-lib library loaded from a CDN. The form data is never sent to any server — it is assembled into a PDF in memory and downloaded directly to your device. This makes it safe to enter sensitive site information such as addresses and licence numbers.
- Can I add as many equipment rows as I need?
- Yes. Click "Add Row" to insert additional lines for circuits, panels, sockets, appliances, or any other items. Each row has a Description, Location, Pass/Fail/N/A status selector, and a free-text Notes field for defect details. The PDF table expands to accommodate all rows — pages are added automatically if the content exceeds one sheet.
- What standards does this report format follow?
- The layout mirrors common inspection templates used under BS 7671 (UK), AS/NZS 3000 (Australia/New Zealand), and general NFPA 70 (US) practice. It includes the mandatory fields — inspector credentials, site address, inspection date, per-item pass/fail coding, overall condition assessment, and a signed declaration. It does not replace a jurisdiction-specific statutory form where one is legally required, but it is suitable as a professional working document or client handout in most situations.
