The wiring regs changed.
iCertifi is ready.
Full support for BS 7671:2018+A4:2026 — Amendment 4 — arrives across every certificate, schedule and export. Built natively for iPhone and iPad. Working fully offline, with your data held on your own device, since 2012.
The headline change
Amendment 4, precisely where it matters.
BS 7671:2018+A4:2026 reaches into the certificate itself — not a compliance footnote, but the fields you complete on every job. iCertifi 12.12.50 aligns the forms, the schedules and the Circuit Designer to the new standard.
PNB earthing arrangement
Protective Neutral Bonding is recognised in BS 7671 for the first time under Amendment 4. iCertifi adds PNB as a first-class option on the earthing arrangement field, so supplies that were previously awkward to record are now documented cleanly and correctly.
EICR schedules, updated
Inspection schedules for the Electrical Installation Condition Report are revised to A4. The items you tick, and the way they're grouped, match the amended standard on the day it applies.
Revised observations layout
The observations section gains additional fields and a revised layout, giving you room to record what A4 now asks for without cramming it into notes.
Circuit Designer aligned to A4
The built-in Circuit Designer follows the amended requirements, so design and certification stay in step across the whole job.
The wider A4 context
Amendment 4 also revises requirements around stationary secondary batteries, functional earthing for ICT and Power over Ethernet, Section 710 medical locations and EV charging — the standard iCertifi certifies against.
Board Vision
Point it at a three-phase board. It reads the phases.
Board Vision now scans TP&N boards, with automatic L1/L2/L3 phase detection. A new full-screen review lets you check every way before anything is imported — and the phase information prints on certificates and exports.
01
Three-phase, automatically
Point the camera at a TP&N board and iCertifi detects which way sits on L1, L2 and L3 for you.
02
Full-screen review before import
Nothing lands in your certificate unchecked. Review the full board, correct anything, then import in one move.
03
Phases carry through to print
Phase allocation appears on the finished certificate and on every PDF export.
Issued PDF Archive
The version you issued is the version that's kept.
When you export a certificate, iCertifi stores that PDF as the issued version. Need to change something? Revise it with a full revision history, or issue a clean replacement — with archive control living in Settings, where you'd expect it.
01
Exports become the record
Every issued PDF is retained exactly as it went out — the definitive copy of what your client received.
02
Revise, with history
Make a revision and iCertifi keeps the trail, so you can always see what changed and when.
03
Or issue a replacement
Supersede an issued document cleanly. Archive behaviour is yours to control in Settings.
New integration · Mint Books
