AI-Powered Electrical Certification for BS 7671 Compliance
iCertifi reimagines how electrical certificates are created.
Stop wasting hours on manual data entry. iCertifi’s AI automation completes BS 7671 and BS 5839-1 certificates in minutes, not hours—with fewer errors and full compliance
Transform Your Electrical Certification Workflow with AI
Manual data entry wastes hours every week. Typing circuit details from distribution boards, re-entering test readings, and looking up regulations costs UK electricians an average of 2-3 hours per certificate.
iCertifi’s AI automation eliminates this wasted time:
Board Vision – Scan distribution boards in seconds instead of 15-20 minutes of manual typing
Test Vision – Capture test data from any instrument—no cables or Bluetooth required
Spark AI – 24/7 technical helpline trained on BS 7671 and UK electrical regulations
Certificate Guardian – Automated compliance checking before you send certificates
These AI features are built into iCertifi’s BS 7671 certification app—no separate software required.
Board Vision 2.0
AI Distribution Board Scanning for Electrical Certificates
Board Vision: Scan Distribution Boards in Seconds
⚠️ The Manual Problem
Recording circuit information from distribution boards typically takes 15-20 minutes per board. You’re manually typing MCB ratings, circuit labels, and device types—tedious, error-prone work that no one enjoys.
✓ How Board Vision Solves It
Simply photograph the distribution board with your phone. Board Vision’s AI instantly identifies:
- MCBs, RCBOs, AFDDs, and RCDs — Accurate device recognition
- Circuit ratings and device types — No manual lookup required
- Circuit labels and positions — Exact board configuration
- Board layout information — Complete visual mapping
All data transfers directly into your electrical certificate in under 30 seconds. Board Vision also infers missing circuit data, pre-filling your circuit details automatically.
💡 Real-World Impact
- 95% faster than manual entry — 60 seconds vs 20-40 minutes
- Zero typing errors — AI-verified accuracy
- Works on any consumer unit brand — No manufacturer restrictions
- Infers circuit data automatically — Pre-fills based on board configuration
Test Vision: Instant Test Data Capture from Any Meter
Turn Test Instrument Display into Instant Certificate Data
⚠️ The Manual Problem
Recording test results means constantly looking at your meter, memorising the value, then typing it into your device. This process is:
- Time-consuming (10+ minutes per distribution board)
- Error-prone (transcription mistakes are common)
- Frustrating (switching between meter and device repeatedly)
- Manufacturer-dependent (Bluetooth dongles only work with specific meters)
✓ How Test Vision Solves It
Instead of manually typing readings into your certificate, simply photograph the screen of your test instrument. Test Vision automatically:
- Reads display values — OCR technology extracts all measurements
- Imports directly into certificates — Structured, ready-to-use data
- Works with ANY meter — Megger, Fluke, Kewtech, Metrel, Martindale, etc.
- No hardware required — No cables, dongles, or Bluetooth pairing
Universal Compatibility: Megger MFT, Fluke 1662, Kewtech KT65, Metrel MI 3152, Martindale EPAT2000, and more
💡 Real-World Impact
- Instant data capture — Photo to certificate in seconds
- Zero transcription errors — What you see is what you get
- Works with any test instrument — Not tied to one manufacturer
- No additional hardware costs — Uses your phone’s camera
- Hands stay on test probes — Safer, more efficient testing
Spark AI: Your 24/7 Technical Helpline
Technical helpline built Into iCertifi
⚠️ The Problem
Technical support for electrical contractors typically means:
- Waiting on hold for 20+ minutes
- Limited hours (9am-5pm, Monday-Friday)

Frequently Asked Questions About AI Certification
Do I need a separate subscription for AI features?
No. Board Vision, Test Vision, Spark AI, and Certificate Guardian use Ai token which you can purchase in iCertifi. Scans can be a little ad around 3p a circuit
Which test instruments work with Test Vision?
Test Vision works with any make or model of electrical test instrument. Simply photograph the screen and the AI extracts the values—no cables, Bluetooth, or manufacturer-specific integration required. Compatible with Megger, Fluke, Kewtech, Metrel, Martindale, and all other brands.
How accurate is Board Vision’s scanning?
Board Vision achieves on average 95%+ accuracy in identifying MCBs, RCBOs, AFDDs, RCDs, circuit ratings, and device types. It works on all major consumer unit brands
Can Spark AI replace my technical helpline?
Spark AI is trained on BS 7671, BS 5839-1, and UK electrical regulations. It provides instant answers to regulation queries, EICR coding decisions, and technical questions—available 24/7 with no hold times. Unlike generic AI, it’s purpose-built for UK electricians with specific regulatory training.
Is my certificate data secure with AI features?
Yes. All AI processing happens securely, and your certificate data remains yours. iCertifi works completely offline—your certificates aren’t sent to remote servers. AI features use on-device processing where possible, with encrypted transmission for cloud-based AI services.
Do the AI features work offline?
Board Vision and Test Vision require a brief internet connection to process the AI scan, then all data is stored locally. Spark AI requires internet connectivity.
What if Board or Test Vision makes a mistake?
All data captured by Board Vision is checkable/editable before finalizing your certificate. You maintain full control and can verify or adjust any values. The AI is a productivity tool to eliminate manual typing, not a replacement for professional judgment.
Can I try the AI features free?
Yes! iCertifi offers 20 Free Ai tokens with full access to all AI features including Board Vision, Test Vision, Spark AI, and Certificate Guardian.
