- Goto Step5
- Tick the Contractor Completion Authorised box

Here is a full guide to creating and completing certificates
New installation works often only modify a single circuit in a board. Creating a New Installation certificate in EDIS displays all the circuits in the board. If you only want to display the circuits that you have worked on, then, on Step 5, before certifying the certificate, you should ticket the box “In the PDF only show circuits that have test results”.
This will reduce the size of the certificate, only display the required information – in the background the DIstribution Board schedule will be updated and will retain all the circuits.
In larger buildings, where ongoing installations and testing takes place, the Schedule of Inspections may not be required. The BS7671 standard states the schedule of Inspections applies to “FOR NEW INSTALLATION WORK ONLY) FOR DOMESTICS AND SIMILAR PREMISES WITH UP TO 100 A SUPPLY”.
remove the tick from the “Display Schedule of Inspections on PDF” tick box, the Schedule of Inspections for a certificate will be supressed in the EDIS certificate PDF.
This reduces the size of the certificate and also removes unnecessary information. Leaving the tick in place will result in the Schedule of Inspection pages being shown in the PDF.
The building administrator can approve access requests to a building; for this reason,it is an important role and should only be limited to key users. The person creating an estate becomes the Estate Administrator(EA) and by default the first Building Administrator (BA).
New Building Administration (BA) permissions is a 3 step process:
1) Select the Personal options/ Request Estate Access menu option:
2) The user needs to select the Estate and requests the Building Administrator rights.
3) An email will then be sent to the existing Building Administrators requesting approval.
In larger buildings, where ongoing installations and testing takes place, the Schedule of Inspections may not be required. The BS7671 standard states the schedule of Inspections applies to “FOR NEW INSTALLATION WORK ONLY) FOR DOMESTICS AND SIMILAR PREMISES WITH UP TO 100 A SUPPLY”.
remove the tick from the “Display Schedule of Inspections on PDF” tick box, the Schedule of Inspections for a certificate will be supressed in the EDIS certificate PDF.
This reduces the size of the certificate and also removes unnecessary information. Leaving the tick in place will result in the Schedule of Inspection pages being shown in the PDF.
The traffic light only appear AFTER a certificate has been complete and signed of by the tester.
The traffic light has – the Red, Amber or Green Colour and the number.
- RED traffic light indicates that the overall certificate assessment is unsatisfactory
- GREEN traffic light indicates the overall assessment is Unsatisfactory and the Remedial work has been done OR the satisfactory overall assessment
- AMBER indicates Satisfacotry but work reccomended
The number indicates the number of remedial tasks that remain open and need to be closed in the Actions Required list.
Each EDIS user requires permission to access an Estate and Building, permissions can be requested by the user and must be approved by the Building Administrator.
Permissions ensure that thee right person has access to the right data,
The screenshot below highlights the permission in the building:
- The estate is selected
- Click on the Green box to request additional permissions
- Lists the current permissions
Some examples
Example 1:
- If a user does not have access to an estate they will not be able to see any buildings in the estate.
- If a user does have access to an estate, but does not have access to a building, they will not be able to see data in the building.
Example 2:
- If an electrician creates a certificate – only they will be able to sign it off, other users cannot sign off the certificate. The electrician may opt to have a data administrator assist with capturing the data – this means the data administrator can edit the data, but only the electrician can sign it off.
Example 3:
- The electrician will select the Qualifying Supervisor and after the electrician has verified the certificate it can then be approved/rejected by the supervisor. After the certificate has been approved – it is locked no longer editable/
Example 4:
A building administrator can approve estate and building access – based in the roles in the table below
Requesting access training videos
The table below explains each permission:
| Permission name | Permission Abbreviation | Permission scope |
|---|---|---|
| Estate Administrator | EA | When a user creates an estate the user becomes the Estate Administrator. There can only be one Estate Administrator. The Estate Administrator is by default a Building Administrator, and can approve Building Administrator permissions. An estate requires at least one Estate Administrator. |
| Building Administrator | BA | The building administrators are approved by the Estate Administrator. Building administrators can approve estate and building access when requested by a user. This is an important role and should only be approved after careful consideration by the existing Building Administrators. |
| Estate Visibility | EV | When a user has requested Estate Visibility, they are able to view the buildings in the estate, but have no access to the buildings. Access to each building must be requested, this can be done on a building by building basis or can be assigned to all buildings at the same time (bulk permissions). |
| Contractor | CN | The contractor permissions allow users to create certificates and request the sign-off by the Electrical Supervisor. The contractor permission cannot edit distribution board schedules directly – all changes to a distribution board schedule must be done by creating a certificate and approving the certificate. After the certificate has been completed the distribution board schedules will be automatically updated. |
| Electrical supervisor | ES | The electrical supervisor permission is primarily used to verify a certificate as a Qualifying Supervisor. The electrical supervisor can approve or reject the certificate. The electrical supervisor can also edit distribution board schedules directly. |
| Designer | DE | The Designer role is primarily used to sign off a New Installation design. The Design role is also useful when giving users Read only permissions. If a client wants to view the EDIS data, they should request access to the estate and then be given DE permissions. This will allow them to view (read only) data without changing it. |
| Data Administrator | DA | The data administrator role is provided where the electrician needs assistance in capturing data, this role can edit certificate data, but cannot sign off the certificate. It is a useful role but needs to be approved with due care. |
TABLE: EDIS roles and permissions
When a electrician inspection condition report (EICR) is created the electrician includes Observations and Recommendations, these are essentially remedial works and become Actions Required in EDIS, You can find the list of Actions Required in the Actions Required menu option.
An unsatisfactory EICR is always accompanied by follow up Actions Required.
There are two parts to the Action Required:
1. The part that was created in the certificate by the electrician, this cannot be changed, because it is part of the certificate and is required for the record.
2. The changes and updates to the Action which are allowed after the certificate has been completed:
To close the action, update and save the following details in the Action Required:
- Action required = Resolved
- Comment= Enter a comments and job reference/description
- Item status= Closed
All your user profile details are found in your User Profile; you can edit the details by clicking on the link with your name on the far right hand side of the EDIS menu, then select User Profile option:
The details that can be edited include all details that may relate to you :
- email address
- organisation address or company address
- NICEIC number
- Test instrument serial numbers
- Organisation logo
- You can also assign a PIN number if you need to read multiple QR codes from your phone

EDIS is a multi user system and allows teams to collaborate when managing the electrical test and other data:
The EDIS system allows a teams to collaborate and work on a single certificates test data. To do this your team will need to have Data Admin permissions on the certificate.
To request Data Admin (DA) permission go to the Dashboard page and click DE box that is shown next to the building name.
The Building Administrator can then approve the request.
You can work in the following ways:
1. Edit via the browser- this is multi user so multiple users can work on it at the same time
2. Upload Excel sheets for a board, you should only upload a single sheet at a time, unless you are sure of the result.
3. The mobile app
WARNING
WHEN UPLOADING AN EXCEL SHEET IT OVERWRITES THE EXISTING DATA. SO THEY SHOULD ONLY UPLOAD A SINGLE BOARD AT A TIME.
FOR OBSERVATIONS SHEET; IF IT IS UPLOADED IT OVERWRITES THE EXISTING OBSERVATIONS
TO BE SAFE ALWAYS ENSURE YOU SAVE YOUR EXCEL DATA, THEN IT CAN BE EASILY RELOADED IF IT HAS BEEN OVERWRITTEN BY SOME ONE ELSE.
