EICR Certificate Software for finished reports
If you are searching for EICR certificate software, you probably want the final report to be faster, cleaner, and easier to send after the inspection.
Direct answer: Yes, TestFast helps UK electricians create EICR certificates and reports from the inspection data they enter on site. It connects job details, circuit schedules, test results, coded observations, certificate output, and report records in one workflow.
- ✅Can I create an EICR certificate from the data entered during inspection?
- ✅Can I store report records, client details, and job evidence in one place?
- ✅Can I reduce double entry between site notes, observations, and final certificate output?
8 reports a month on us. Upgrade when you need more.
Trusted by UK electricians creating EICR certificates and reports
"After years fighting the NICEIC system, slow, complicated, and opaque, TestFast is a breath of fresh air. Data entry that used to take forever now takes minutes. The zero lag performance is crucial for me. As someone who enters all the data but does not approve certificates, I need something that just works. No loading screens, no crashes. Simple and transparent."

"Methods have fallen behind the times given the importance of the industry. TestFast has enabled us to focus more on actually testing and inspecting rather than data entry and proofreading. After losing schedules through one of the big bodies multiple times, my frustration was peaking. The zero-lag performance means no more lost work. Genuinely well-built software, and the back-end support has been fantastic. Everybody wins."

"NoteScribe OCR has been a game changer. I used to type every observation manually, now 60% of my report is done quicker, giving me more time for actual inspections. I scan my handwritten sheets and just QC what has been scanned instead of typing everything. More time on the tools, less time on admin."
Wayne Grant
Electrical Manager • Aberdeen • NICEIC • 20 years
"Other software tries to do everything and does it all badly, every update breaks something else. TestFast just does the basics brilliantly. Taking a photo of the board and having it auto-fill saves me 15-30 minutes per EICR, and the speed means I can be more thorough on site rather than rushing to escape the admin. Just try it, it changed my life."

Electrician/Director • Devon • NAPIT • 17 years
"The NICEIC online system always felt slower and clunkier than it needed to be. Now I can type up a whole schedule in about 30 minutes, it just works smoothly. I wouldn't recommend TestFast to anyone I wouldn't consider a true sparky. If you cut corners on test sheets or miss the obvious fails in front of your face, this isn't for you."
Callum Bradley
Director, Electri-Cal NE Ltd • Northumberland • 18 years
"Typing up observations used to eat my time. NoteScribe OCR has made my reports around 50% quicker and actually more thorough and professional. Better than any other software I've tried."
Stephen

"Grid entry was such a pain I'd given up and gone back to handwritten reports entirely. TestFast changed that, the Observation Builder makes the whole process simple and I'm done in under 20 minutes. Fast, professional results every time."

Why does finished EICR certificate output take too long?
Why am I rebuilding the report after the inspection?
Many EICR certificate software searches start when the inspection is done, but the certificate still feels miles away.
Client details, circuit data, observations, and test values copied between different tools.
Rough site notes rewritten later into report language when the job should already be close to complete.
Finished certificate output taking longer than the actual reporting decisions.
When the certificate is separated from the inspection workflow, electricians pay for it with duplicated admin.
You should not have to choose.
How should EICR certificate software work?
EICR certificate software should turn inspection data into finished report output without forcing the electrician to rebuild the same job later. TestFast keeps capture, observations, records, and certificate output connected.
Generate EICR reports from the same data entered during inspection.
Keep certificate records, client details, and job history in one workflow.
Use observation tools to move from rough notes to professional report wording faster.
Faster paperwork without lowering the standard of the work.
The inspection data is already there. The software should help turn it into the certificate instead of making you start again.

TestFast
Hey, it's Michael 👋
For 10 years, I was on the tools, thorough inspections, detailed observations, doing it right even when no one was watching.
Then I spent three years as a software engineer. I learned that slow, clunky tools are a choice, not a technical limitation.
When I came back to the tools, I couldn't unsee it. The EICR software was forcing me to choose: do thorough work, or get home on time.
I was rushing through observations to escape the interface. Skipping details to avoid the soul-crushing grid entry. I was doing worse work because software made thoroughness harder, not easier.
That's when I realised: if cheap tools make you do cheap work, then crap software makes you do crap reports. And I refused to accept that.
So I built TestFast on one principle:
Automation should eliminate the admin. Your expertise stays on the inspection.
- Your time on electrical work, not data entry
- Thoroughness should be easier, not harder
- Your standards don't change, the friction does
This isn't just another cert app. It's the tool I wish I'd had for the last decade.
How does TestFast create cleaner EICR certificate output?
Three certificate questions matter most. Three ways the finished report gets closer while you work.
Can the certificate start while I am still on site?
On a 40-circuit board you are noting values on site, then typing the same values up later.
That is the same job done twice.
Leave site with your schedule already done.
NoteScribe OCR
Snap the DB. TestFast reads the circuit labels and builds your schedule so you can start testing instead of typing.
LiveSync - Megger MFT-X1
Direct Bluetooth to your tester. Press test and the value lands in the right field without manual entry.
- NoteScribe OCR and Megger LiveSync move your test data into the app while you work on site.

What You Actually Get Back
Get Your Evenings Back
Finish on site at 5pm. Thorough inspection — 30-40 observations, proper testing, the full works.
Old way? That's 3 more hours at the laptop before you're done.
Now? 20 minutes. Report sent, invoice raised, finished.
Your thoroughness doesn't punish you anymore.
More Jobs. Same Standards.
Two hours saved per report adds up fast.
That's not cutting corners — that's friction gone.
- •Fit an extra job into your week without a longer day
- •Finally take on that commercial contract you've been putting off
- •Say yes to the client who needs it done by Friday
Your standards don't change. Your availability does.
Done Before They've Finished Their Tea.
Detailed report. Professional observations. Proper codes. Delivered same day.
That's not what clients expect from their electrician.
That's why they remember you.
That's the reputation that separates you from sparkies who cut corners.
What should happen before the EICR certificate is sent?
A good EICR certificate workflow should carry inspection data forward into the final report instead of splitting the job into site work first and office typing later.

Questions to ask before choosing software:
Can the circuit schedule be built from site evidence instead of typed from scratch?
Can rough defect notes become professional, coded observations?
Can the report move from inspection data to certificate output without duplicated entry?
Can completed EICR records be stored and found again when a client asks?
A report workflow should feel shorter because the admin is shorter.
Not because corners were cut. Because friction was eliminated.
How much should EICR certificate software cost? Start free, then upgrade when the report volume is there.
The right price depends on how many certificates you produce and how much report admin the software removes. Start with real jobs, then upgrade when the saved time is obvious.
