How Amendment 4 Affects Your Certificates

These are the updates that will change how you complete your paperwork.

EICR Condition Report Notes Have Been Rewritten

The notes for the person producing the condition report have been redrafted and reorganised. There’s also clear confirmation that signatures on reports must be from those conducting the inspection and authorising the report.

If your current process is a bit loose on who signs what, tighten it up now.

Chapter 65 Has Clarifications on Periodic Inspection and Testing

Worth reviewing when the amendment drops.

Medical Locations Have Enhanced Requirements

If you work on healthcare facilities, expect more detailed regulations for electrical installations in clinical settings.

Firefighter’s Switches Have Revised Guidance

Installations requiring emergency disconnection get updated requirements.

Regulation 522.6 on Cables in Walls Has Been Reorganised

The requirements haven’t changed, but they’re clearer now. The content has been reorganised into a table. Small mercy.

New Appendix Data for Buried Cables in Ducts

More accurate calculations for voltage drop and current-carrying capacity in specific installation conditions.

Shine Forms Will Update From Day One

For contractors managing teams, consistency matters. You won’t have engineers producing certificates based on outdated checks while waiting for a software update. Everyone stays compliant from the moment Amendment 4 comes into force.

Gary isn’t going to read about Amendment 4 when it’s published. He’s helping write it. When the regulations change, Shine Forms changes with them. Automatic. No extra cost. No waiting.
