Issue an EICR

An EICR is a condition report on an existing installation: what is there, what you inspected, what you measured, and what you found. TradeBooked lays it out on the BS 7671:2018+A4:2026 model form published by the IET on 15 April 2026, and builds it from the booking so the customer and the address are already attached.

It is the longest form in the product, and that is the document, not the app. A full domestic report covers the supply and earthing, the particulars at the origin, a circuit schedule, a test results schedule, a schedule of inspection running to 66 items across 8 sections, and your observations. The builder is split into six steps so you can work a section of the board at a time on a phone.

The report is unbranded by design. It follows the BS 7671 model form and is never presented as an NICEIC, NAPIT, ELECSA or STROMA certificate. Your scheme name and registration number are recorded as data, the same way a Gas Safety Record records a Gas Safe number.

A4 splits Section K into two observation tables. C1 (danger present) and C2 (potentially dangerous) affect the overall assessment. C3 (improvement recommended) and FI (further investigation is advised) do not.

That is a change worth knowing about. Under the older A2:2022 form an FI also forced an unsatisfactory outcome, and a lot of guidance still on the web describes that older rule. TradeBooked follows the A4 rule: any C1 or C2 makes the report unsatisfactory, and nothing else does.

The app never picks a code. You classify each observation and TradeBooked counts them, then shows the assessment that follows from your codes. There is a starter list of observations an electrician writes over and over, and each one arrives with a suggested code, but the code that goes on the report is always the one you leave in the picker.

An unsatisfactory assessment never blocks you from issuing. Reporting a dangerous installation is the whole point of the document.

The schedule of inspection is the 66-item list, with the A4 outcomes key: acceptable, unacceptable (C1 or C2), improvement recommended (C3), further investigation (FI), not verified, limitation, not applicable. Code an item C1/C2, C3 or FI and the builder asks you to record it as an observation in Section K referencing that item number, so the schedules and the observations cannot contradict each other.

The circuits are entered once and print as two schedules: the schedule of circuit details (the identity columns) and the schedule of test results (the readings). On site you work a circuit at a time, so the builder keeps them together; the report splits them back out.

Testing does not run a circuit at a time, though. It runs a column at a time: every dead test across the whole board with the power off, then every live test with it on. Switch the circuits step from By circuit to By test and you get one reading, one input per circuit, straight down the board. It only ever takes hand-typed measurements and prefills nothing.

Maximum permitted Zs is derived for circuit breakers from the device type and rating, so there is no table to transcribe. Fuses are not derived: their tables are per BS number and non-linear, so you enter the value yourself.

For a private rented home in England the statutory maximum is five years, so the builder offers 60 months from the inspection date as a one-tap suggestion. It is a suggestion, not a rule: Section F asks for a date and for the reason behind the interval, which Regulation 653.4 requires.

TradeBooked does not shorten the interval automatically when a report comes back unsatisfactory. The interval is your judgement and the reason field is where you explain it.

You will need a TradeBooked account on the Pro or Autopilot plan, an electrician trade type, a booking for the property, and your competent-person scheme registration number. The report cannot be issued without your signature and a registration number, whatever your trade type says.
