Compliance Model

The TESC compliance model explains the structured process that follows an EICR — focusing on remedial progression, timelines and documented compliance outcomes.

TESC supports the post-inspection phase where compliance responsibilities continue after an EICR has been issued.

Process Overview

Electrical inspections identify the condition of an installation. Where observations are recorded, a follow-up period begins. The TESC model introduces structure and visibility during that phase.

Inspection Completed
Report Issued
Compliance Follow-Up

The final stage is where TESC operates — supporting monitoring, reminders and progression toward documented compliance outcomes.

The Three Phases

Phase 1

Inspection

A qualified contractor carries out inspection and testing and records observations within an EICR.

Phase 2

Report & Outcome

The EICR is issued. Outcomes may be satisfactory or unsatisfactory, triggering a remedial period where applicable.

Phase 3 (TESC Focus)

Compliance Follow-Up

Follow-up processes help track remedial works, time windows and completion evidence, supporting compliance visibility.

Important: TESC does not replace the inspection contractor. The model exists to support clarity and structure after inspection and ensure comliance with deadlines and responsibilities.

What Happens During Compliance Follow-Up

Monitoring & reminders

Follow-up processes maintain visibility on outstanding remedial actions and expected time windows.

Remedial progression

Progress is tracked from recorded observations toward completion and confirmed outcomes. Reminders issued as required.

Documented outcomes

Completion evidence and compliance status are logged to support transparency and accountability.

Where applicable

  • Follow-up communications may involve landlords or managing agents
  • Notifications may apply depending on circumstances
  • Records are maintained to support an audit trail

Duty holder visibility

  • Clear understanding of current compliance stage
  • Awareness of outstanding actions
  • Confirmation when outcomes are recorded

Contractor interaction

  • Contractors may participate via registration
  • Structured workflow supports communication
  • Reduces ambiguity after report issue

Scope and Limitations

The compliance model is procedural in nature and designed to support post-inspection clarity.

TESC does

  • Support structured compliance follow-up
  • Track progression toward completion
  • Maintain records to support transparency

TESC does not

  • Carry out electrical inspection or testing
  • Provide remedial electrical works

Legal context

  • Compliance obligations remain with the duty holder
  • Processes may align with recognised regulatory frameworks
  • Information provided is for general compliance awareness
