The short version

Every other certification tool asks you to type the certificate. iCertifi reads it. Point your camera at any distribution board and any test meter and the AI builds the schedule and drops in the readings – then checks the whole certificate against BS 7671 before you sign. Trusted by UK electricians since 2011, and built natively for the iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch you already carry.

The AI engine

Four AI tools no competitor comes close to

Board Vision 2.0

Photograph any board, get the full schedule in 30 seconds

Point your camera at any consumer unit, PDF, paper or handwritten schedule. The AI identifies every circuit and every MCB, RCBO, AFDD and RCD – ratings and labels included – at 95%+ accuracy, zero typing errors, 95% faster than by hand.

Test Vision

Reads any meter display – any brand, no dongles

Photograph the display on any Megger, Fluke, Kewtech, Metrel or Martindale tester. iCertifi reads the values, maps them to the right circuits and applies BS 7671 pass/fail automatically. No cables, no Bluetooth, no brand lock-in. The only electrical app that does this.

Spark AI

A regs assistant that knows your certificate

Custom-trained on BS 7671 (18th Edition + Amendment 2), BS 5839-1 and EICR codes – not generic ChatGPT. It knows the page and circuit you are on, and can assess your whole certificate for compliance and hand back an instant report.

Certificate Guardian

Compliance-checked before you sign

Scans every field, every circuit, every Zs value and every RCD trip time against current regs before sign-off – and stops a non-compliant certificate ever leaving your device.

The result: a certificate that took 2-3 hours is done in 25-45 minutes – an estimated £750-£1,250 a month back in your pocket.

A cable calculator built into the certificate

The Circuit Designer works out cable sizing, voltage drop, Zs verification and derating factors instantly and pushes them straight onto your EIC, EICR or Minor Works certificate – with the full working shown for inspectors. No Appendix 4, no separate calculator, no guesswork.
