Electrical Certificate Types Supported by Tradecert

Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)

The EICR is the periodic inspection and testing report for an existing installation — the certificate landlords, homeowners, and commercial and industrial premises rely on, and the one typically required before a property sale.

Tradecert makes EICRs fast to complete and hard to get wrong. You record classified observations, save observation and circuit presets, work from reusable templates, and fill full schedules, with observations automatically ordered by code and location. A powerful circuits table lets you edit boards of every type quickly, board schematics help with larger installations, and you can update the inspection's limitations straight from the schedule of inspections.

Accuracy is built in. Native equations flag erroneous or impossible values, the Validate feature catches any missed fields, and an AI check reviews your circuits table as a second pair of eyes — improving compliance on every report. Preloaded observations drop in as you work, with the correct schedule-of-inspections items already ticked for you, while the AI suggests clearer wording, references the relevant BS 7671 regulation, and updates the schedule of inspections as you go.

EICRs, EICs and Minor Works Certificates all convert from one to another in a couple of taps, so you never re-enter the same installation twice.

Every suggestion is built on thousands of points of real electrician feedback. And like everything in Tradecert, EICRs work online or fully offline on site.

Be wary of any software claiming to save you a fixed number of hours per certificate — installations vary too much in size and complexity for that to be honest. What we will commit to: a minimum of 15 minutes saved with AI Import on a standard domestic installation with no observations.

Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC)

The Electrical Installation Certificate covers new installations, new circuits and consumer unit (fuse board) changes — the certificate you issue when the work you've done needs signing off to BS 7671.

Tradecert makes EICs fast to complete and hard to get wrong. Tradecert's AI reads a photo of the board and extracts the circuit data, so you check and confirm instead of retyping. You save observation and circuit presets, work from reusable templates, and fill full schedules, with a powerful circuits table that lets you edit boards of every type quickly, plus board schematics for larger installations. It handles 18th Edition calculations, auto-generates serial numbers, and exports a secure, Part P–compliant PDF ready to print or email.

Accuracy is built in. Native equations flag erroneous or impossible values, the Validate feature catches any missed fields, and an AI check reviews your circuits table as a second pair of eyes — improving compliance on every certificate. Every suggestion is built on thousands of points of real electrician feedback.

EICRs, EICs and Minor Works Certificates all convert from one to another in a couple of taps, so you never re-enter the same details twice. An EIC can also be converted into an EV charger certificate or a solar PV certificate, carrying your circuit and board data straight across.

Like everything in Tradecert, EICs work online or fully offline on site.

BS7671 A4: 2026

Minor Works Certificate

The Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate is for additions and alterations that don't add a new circuit — a new socket on an existing circuit, replacing accessories, and similar work. It's a quick, single form built for finishing on site: complete it on your phone at the job and it syncs the moment you're back online.

A single Minor Works Certificate in Tradecert supports up to five circuits, so you can cover multiple small jobs on one document, and you can record main and supplementary bonding readings alongside them. Accuracy is built in — native logic flags erroneous or impossible values, the Validate feature catches any missed fields, and an AI check reviews the certificate as a second pair of eyes, while AI notes suggest clearer wording as you go.

Started on a Minor Works but the job turned out bigger? Convert it to an EIC or EICR in a couple of taps, carrying your data straight across — no re-entry.

EV Charger Certificates

IET COP EVCEI 5th Edition & BS7671 Section 722

Tradecert covers EV charge point certification end to end. Four EV charger certificates span every setting you'll work in — dwellings, on-street installations, commercial premises and fuel filling stations — each built to 18th Edition requirements.

A single certificate supports multiple charge points, so you can document a whole installation on one document. AI does the data entry for you: take a photo of the charger and Tradecert extracts the details automatically, so you check and confirm instead of typing. Presets let you reuse your common setups, and an optional risk assessment can be added when the job calls for it.

Accuracy is built in — native logic flags erroneous or impossible values, and the Validate feature catches any missed fields before you issue.

Already tested the installation on an EIC? Convert it straight into an EV charger certificate in a couple of taps, carrying your circuit and board data across — no re-entry.

Like everything in Tradecert, EV charger certificates work online or fully offline on site.

Emergency Lighting Certificates

BS5226-1

Tradecert includes four emergency lighting certificates covering inspection, testing and maintenance across both domestic and commercial premises — the paperwork behind emergency lighting checks on landlord, HMO and business sites. They sit alongside the rest of a site's certificates in one app, completed offline and synced automatically once you're back in signal.

Presets and quick fills let you reuse your common setups and complete routine records in a fraction of the time. Accuracy is built in — native logic flags erroneous or impossible values, and the Validate feature catches any missed fields before you issue.

You can also apply a custom scheme logo per certificate — NICEIC on your electrical work, BAFE on your fire and emergency lighting — so every document carries the right accreditation for the trade it covers.

Like everything in Tradecert, emergency lighting certificates work online or fully offline on site.

Fire Alarm Certificates

BS5839-1 or BS5839-6

Tradecert supports fifteen fire alarm certificates covering domestic and commercial fire detection and alarm systems — the widest fire alarm coverage in one cert app. Whether you're commissioning a new system or carrying out a periodic inspection, the right certificate is ready on the same app you use for everything else.

AI handles the variations so you can add them in, get the reworded text with the regulation. Presets and quick fills let you reuse your common setups and complete routine records in a fraction of the time. Accuracy is built in — native logic flags erroneous or impossible values, and the Validate feature catches any missed fields before you issue.

You can also apply a custom scheme logo per certificate — NICEIC on your electrical work, BAFE on your fire — so every document carries the right accreditation for the trade it covers.

Solar PV Certificates

BS 62446-1 & EREC G98 Form B

Tradecert supports solar PV certification for grid-connected installations, including the SSEG (Small Scale Embedded Generation) certificate, commissioning certificate and maintenance schedule — everything you need to sign off and hand over a PV system.

A dedicated array table lets you build out your strings quickly, with string reordering to keep the layout clean, and custom presets for the panels, inverters and manufacturers you fit most often. Already tested the installation on an EIC? Convert it straight into a solar certificate and Tradecert prefills the fields, carrying your data across — no re-entry.

Accuracy is built in. Native logic calculates short-circuit current (Isc) from irradiance and warns you when the number of strings exceeds the inverter's MPPT capacity — catching design errors before they reach the certificate. The Validate feature checks for any missed fields before you issue.

You can also apply a custom scheme logo per certificate — NICEIC on your electrical work, MCS on your Solar — so every document carries the right accreditation for the trade it covers.

Like everything in Tradecert, solar PV certificates work online or fully offline on site.

PAT Certificates

IET COP 5th Edition

Tradecert supports PAT for landlords, offices, commercial premises and event work — the inspection and testing that confirms portable and movable appliances are safe to use.

AI does the repetitive data entry for you: instead of typing out every appliance, Tradecert fills the appliance fields automatically — description, cable length, type and more — so a large batch stops being a manual slog. A built-in barcode scanner logs and identifies each appliance in seconds, and native logic flags erroneous or impossible values as you go.

Like everything in Tradecert, PAT records work online or fully offline on site — synced automatically once you're back in signal.

Copy & Convert

You can convert all the certificate types above such as EICRs into EICs/Minor Works or EICs into EVs/Solar PV to save double data entry.

Every certificate in one app.

No extra subscriptions.

Electrical, PAT, EV, Solar PV, Fire domestic/Fire commercial and Emergency Lighting all live in the same Tradecert app on one subscription.

You're not buying (or learning) a separate app every time a job needs a different certificate unlike some apps out there.

Electrical: BS 7671 | Solar PV: BS EN 62446-1 | PAT: BS EN 50699 | EV: BS 7671 Section 722 | Fire | Domestic: BS 5839-6 | Fire Commercial: BS 5839-1 | Emergency Lighting: BS 5266-1

Real-time collaboration with names on the cert.

When one electrician makes a change, everyone else sees it instantly — and you can see who's editing what as they move through the certificate.

It's built for firms running several electricians on one job, not just sole traders.

AI that's been tested more and where it matters.

Tradecert's AI is the most used in the trade, and it's been put to work by enterprise teams including eco approach, Selwood and Hawkesworth.

Point it at a board photo, a PDF or your test results and it fills the circuits for you.

Always current with IET amendments.

When the IET publishes an amendment, Tradecert ships it fast — the April A4 changes were live in our app in May. Our certificates follow the current IET model forms, without legacy fields that shouldn't be there.

Built and backed by a real team.

Tradecert is built by a team of ten senior developers, all in-house. When something needs fixing or you need a hand, there's a real support team to reach and direct contact number — it's a big reason electricians trust us with their compliance.
