Board scanning

Photograph the board. The circuit schedule fills itself in.

Point your phone at the consumer unit and CertBox drafts the EICR or EIC circuit schedule for you — every way read, confidence-scored, yours to check.

Board scanning is part of the Pro plan.

The circuit schedule is the slow part of an EICR. Thirty-odd ways copied off the board by hand, one line at a time, squinting at faded breaker labels in a dim cupboard — and one wrong character means a wrong certificate.

What you get

  • Photograph the consumer unit — up to three shots for a wide or split board — and every circuit is read back to you
  • Each way captured: device type, rating in amps, the B, C or D curve, RCD rating in mA and the circuit designation
  • Every circuit carries a confidence score, so you glance at the ones it was unsure of and accept the rest
  • The circuits drop straight into the EICR and EIC schedule — the same table you would otherwise type by hand
  • Shot at high resolution so small and worn breaker text stays legible
  • Reads what is installed, not the readings — your Zs, insulation resistance and R1+R2 still come from your instrument import

How it works

1

Photograph the board

Open the circuit schedule on an EICR or EIC, add a photo, and take up to three shots so the whole board is covered.

2

Check the read

Each circuit comes back with a confidence score. Correct the few it flagged as uncertain — the rest are ready to go.

3

Import the schedule

Accept, and every circuit fills the schedule in one go. Then add your test results as you normally would.

Common questions

How accurate is it?

It drafts the schedule from your photo and scores its confidence on each circuit, so you review the uncertain ones before anything is saved. It reads what is installed — you stay in control of what ends up on the certificate.

Which certificates does it work on?

The EICR and the EIC — the two certificates with a full circuit schedule. Open either one and the scan button sits on the circuits step.

Does it fill in the test results too?

No. A photo shows what is installed — the devices, ratings and RCDs — not the readings from your tester. Zs, insulation resistance and R1+R2 come from your instrument import or by hand.
