Creating and Completing a Remedial Completion Certificate is required when there are Observations and Recommendations that need to be remediated following the completion of an Electrical Inspection Condition Report.
Remedial Completion Certificates is an EDIS Super Power 🙂 – it saves time cutting, pasting, rekeying and updating reports – all these tasks are is automated!
To create remedial completion certificate: you will need to navigate to the certificate’s menu option on the EDIS main menu, Select the blue create button and select the Remedial Completion Certificate option. You should modify the Purpose of the report, click Create Certificate button.
The EDIS certificate Wizard Step 1 page will open, this is where you set up information about the certificate – there are four tabs: Basic Info, Associated Boards, Additional Comments and Actions Required.
For a Remedial Completion Certificate select the Actions Required tab, this will list the open actions in the building. Select the actions that are remediating, if you have done any electrical tests or modified circuits then you can select Associated Board and then select the boards with the certificate.
Always remember to save your work before moving to the next step of the EDIS Certificate Wizard!
Next you can work through steps, 2,3 and in step 4 you can edit the circuit details for the circuits you tested.
You can always generate the PDF by clicking on the “circular Arrows” and then clicking on the PDF logo, when you’re happy with the PDF you can sign it off via Step 5
EDIS does the system support creating boards and circuits via bulk data import or upload. This can be done via the EDIS Excel export/import features or for the more technically inclined it can be done programmatically via the EDIS API using a simple Python script.
Using the EDIS Bulk Upload and Download Feature
The process of bulk loading data into EDIS using Excel involves two key steps:
Step 1: Upload Distribution Board Details
Obtained the upload template from the menu goto Boards/ Updates/ Bulk Upload New Boards, click Download Excel Template
The template will include:
Once the spreadsheet is prepared, upload it to EDIS. The system will generate a template for each distribution board, including default SPARE circuit entries.
Start with a couple of boards to better understand how the feature works
To perform the upload:
Select the prepare file and upload and review the results.
Step 2: Download and Populate Circuit Descriptions
After the boards are created, the Excel template for each board created can be downloaded.
The template for each board is downloaded via the Boards menu option, and in the Action column selecting the Export file option for the board
Update these templates with the actual circuit descriptions and details as required. Then upload the board via the File import function in the Action column.
You can view the distribution board schedule using the distribution board PDF feature – this will generate and download the PDF schedule for the distribution board. This feature is accessed via the Boards menu option, for the Board select PDF Schedule in the Action column.
As part of the electrical compliance cycle creating the Remedial Completion certificate provides a convenient and efficient way to report that the remedials have been completed and that compliance has been achieved. EDIS enables this process by updating and re-using existing information as opposed to re-entering information.
After an EICR, you’ll often find observations requiring remedial work for electrical compliance. These are categorized as C1, C2, C3, etc., and can be viewed via the Action Required menu on EDIS. The simplest way to report completion is through a remedial completion certificate.
This certificate allows electricians to select actions, add comments, test results, and photos before finalizing it. It generates a PDF confirming the remedial work follows BS7671 standards. Completing the certificate automatically updates the Actions Required, marks them as completed, and emails the PDF to the responsible person.
Creating the remedial completion certificate is an efficient method to report compliance has been achieved. EDIS facilitates this by updating and using existing information without re-entry.
To efficiently generate many certificates for testing an extensive estate, it is important to streamline the process of copying boilerplate text. For example, you may need to include standardized sections such as the purpose of the report, extent and limitations, agreed limitations, and operational limitations. This text typically needs to be consistent across each Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR).
To facilitate this, you can use the EDIS Organisation feature to create templates for your organisation that contain default text for various sections of your EICR. Within the organization feature, you can establish default text entries for the purpose of the report, extent and limitations, agreed limitations, etc. Additionally, you can input common circuit details so that any frequently used circuits can be easily selected and populated. You can also include common observations.
These features are available within the organizational function on the platform. To implement this, first request EDIS Support su*****@***********************co.uk , to create an organization and appoint an organization admin. The organisation admin will be responsible for creating the default text and inviting organization members. When generating a certificate, the user will specify the relevant organization, and all the boilerplate text will be used to pre-populate the certificate and will be accessible to organisation members via lookup lists.
This approach is particularly beneficial for common observations and recommendations, which often contain standard text. It eliminates the need for repetitive cutting and pasting, it provides consistency by providing a drop-down box selection, maintained by the organization admin and easily accessed by users.
Why won’t my substations or boards appear with the relevant connections to switchboards on EDIS Schematic?Assuming substations are treated as Supply Origins, then the Supply Origin must exist, e.g TX-01 and it needs to be linked to the distribution board. It is also useful if the supply origin has an associated section and floor, as this will help with filtering the records.
To link a supply to a distribution board, select the boards menu option, then edit the board details, in the edit board details form select the “Search and Select the Supply” tab:, then select the required Supply Origin.
Similarly you can select any board and circuit to supply a “downstream” board.
When creating a distribution network there are some simple rules:
these are just practical rules when developing a distribution network
You can also add alternative supplies using the same form.
The EDIS system revolutionizes the creation of electrical schematic diagrams, a task traditionally performed manually by CAD technicians using specialized software. EDIS automates this process by leveraging the data contained within its electrical distribution board schedules.
Specifically, the EDIS algorithm utilizes the comprehensive information within these schedules to automatically generate a detailed electrical schematic of the entire distribution infrastructure. A crucial step for this automation is ensuring that each distribution board’s record is updated with its “supplied from” details. Once this connection data is present, EDIS intelligently processes it to establish the supply links between distribution boards, effectively “drawing” the electrical schematic diagram without any manual intervention. This dramatically reduces the time and effort traditionally associated with schematic diagram generation.
