Dedicated Curcle workflow · Electrical
EICR software that keeps the inspection, the review and the remedial work on one record.
Board and circuit results, coded observations and photographs stay connected for competent review before release. Curcle checks for gaps and keeps the record straight; it does not decide whether an installation is safe.
- Job
- Field evidence
- QS review
- Released EICR

Edition-aware reports
Each report carries the BS 7671 edition it was written under.
The edition is a visible, controlled field on the report and is locked once the first signature is applied. Overall-assessment checks, release checks, the PDF and the customer summary all follow that report's edition. Changing your company default never converts historical reports, and recorded codes and outcomes are not silently rewritten.
- Under Amendment 4 wording, FI means “Further investigation is advised”; only C1 or C2 make an A4 report unsatisfactory. Historical A3 reports keep the earlier FI interpretation.
- A made-safe declaration is recorded alongside a C1. It does not erase it.
- A4 report creation and release remain behind a qualified-approval gate that has not yet been opened. We will say so plainly until qualified electrical approval is complete.
QS evidence findings
Findings point at the evidence, not at a feeling.
A qualified supervisor reviews the report in the review queue with its boards, circuits, observations and photographs alongside. Readiness checks flag missing schedules, signatures, instrument details and next-inspection reasons before release can be attempted.
- Checks are rules that surface gaps. They do not classify defects or judge the installation.
- AI photo suggestions, where enabled, are drafts with per-field confidence. Nothing is saved until the competent person confirms it.
Previous-EICR comparison
Choose the earlier report. Compare the evidence.
Use Compare with previous to choose an eligible earlier report and confirm it covers the same installation. Curcle compares recorded observations, classifications, photographs, boards, circuits and available readings. The selected baseline is recorded; it is not silently picked for you.
- A finding absent from the newer report is not proof it has been repaired. Missing readings remain unknown, not zero; ambiguous circuit matches are identified rather than guessed.
- The comparison is factual evidence for the inspector and reviewer. It does not decide safety, certify remedial work or copy old readings into a new inspection.
- Superseding reports are labelled on both records, so a correction never looks like a second, independent inspection.
Correction ownership
A returned report has an owner, and someone else checks the fix.
A QS can return a specific correction to a named engineer with a note and optional due date. The engineer corrects the source report; a reviewer then checks it before the report can move on. The worklist keeps owner and next action visible throughout.
- Where strict QS controls are enabled, release is limited to the configured review roles. Agree who reviews whose work during setup, so the checker is not the author.
- Correction follow-through is a controlled pilot. It is built and tested, and needs specific setup.
Immutable released PDF
Released means fixed.
Release produces one retained PDF for that version of the report. Later changes go through the reopen flow and a new, superseding issue; the released document a customer downloaded is not edited underneath them. Inspector and authoriser are labelled separately, and a missing signature image is shown as missing, never substituted with a typed name.
- Draft and in-review reports can be previewed, but a preview is not a customer certificate.
Customer action summary
The customer sees what needs doing, in plain English.
Alongside the formal report, customers get a summary written to the report's edition: what is satisfactory, what is advised and what needs remedial work. In the customer portal each released report shows its outcome, next inspection date and open remedial items, and the customer can record that they have reviewed it.
- Customer-friendly summary drafting is AI-assisted. Your team edits and approves it before anything is sent.
Remedial quotation handoff
From an observation to a quote without retyping it.
Each observation has Quote and Job actions. The remedial quote carries the observation, code and location from the reviewed report, so commercial staff price the work the inspector actually recorded. Remedial work can become a job that stays linked to the source report.
- Quotes and invoices can flow on to Xero or QuickBooks where connected.
Where responsibility sits
- The inspector
- Inspects, tests, codes each observation and signs as inspector.
- The qualified reviewer
- Reviews evidence, returns corrections and authorises release.
- Curcle
- Structures the record, flags gaps, locks the edition, retains the released PDF and hands remedials to quoting.
- Not Curcle
- Deciding electrical safety, classifying defects, or certifying anyone's competence. Medical-location bonding schedules are not supported.
Also in electrical: PAT testing.
