Board Vision | Capture and extract circuit breaker information faster and more accurately

AI for electricians

Build Your Distribution Board by pointing your camera.

Scan your whole consumer unit, grab a single circuit, or photograph a paper Schedule of Test Results.

iCertifi Board Vision reads DB boards, PDFs, paper schedules and photos and builds your full distribution board schedule in seconds.

Three ways to scan

Pick whichever suits the job. Board Vision gets the board into iCertifi either way.

01
Whole DB board
Photograph consumer unit, Board Vision identifies every device, then builds circuit list with ratings, trip curves & BS EN standards.
02
Single circuit
Photograph a single over current  device to add or update that circuit on its own.
Ideal after a board change or to fill a gap.
03
Paper schedule
Photograph a typed or hand-written Schedule of Test Results and Board Vision lifts the readings straight off the page and create the DB board in iCertifi.

How Board Vision works

1

Pick your scan. Whole board, single circuit, or paper schedule.

2

Snap it. Take a photo, or pick one from your library.

3

Crop in tight. Drag the frame around what matters so the AI sees a clean image.

4

Quality check. It catches blur, glare and low light before uploading, for a good read first time.

5

Review and import. Check every detected circuit and reading, then confirm.

What Board Vision reads

Scan the whole board, or lift the readings straight off a paper schedule. Tap to see the detail.

Every device on the board
Device types: MCBs, RCBOs, AFDDs, RCDs, the main switch and blank or spare ways
The current rating of every breaker, from a 6A lighting circuit to the 100A main switch
The trip curve (Type B, C or D) where it is printed on the device
The circuit name, read from the label or symbol, lighting, sockets, cooker, shower, EV charger and more
The correct BS EN device standard, assigned for you (BS EN 60898, 61009 and 62606)
Split-load boards: MCBs grouped automatically under the RCD that protects them
Full test results from a paper schedule
Cable and conductor sizes (live and cpc)
R1+R2 continuity, plus ring final r1, rn and r2
Insulation resistance (including >999 and LIM)
Earth fault loop impedance, Zs
RCD trip times at IΔn and 5×IΔn, and the test-button result
Polarity, device rating and device type

Every value is range-checked against BS 7671 as it comes in, so an obvious misread gets flagged, and multi-sheet schedules are stitched together by circuit number.

Boards it works with
Split-load and dual-RCD boards
High-integrity and all-RCBO boards
Single-RCD and main-switch-only boards
Multi-row boards, read row by row
Spare and blank ways kept as proper records, never binned

Three-phase (TP&N) board scanning is coming soon. Today Board Vision is optimised for single-phase consumer units.

Fast, but you stay in control

Board Vision gives you a reliable first read, but the final word is always yours. You review every circuit and reading on screen before anything is saved, nothing is deleted on your behalf, and every value is checked against BS 7671 ranges so odd readings get flagged.

Honest about AI

Board Vision gives you a head start that you check and sign off, not a replacement for your professional judgement. You remain the competent person responsible for the certificate.

Board Vision runs on AI tokens, one per circuit you import. Top up in packs of 10, 50 or 250, they never expire, and there’s no separate subscription.

Questions, answered

What can I scan?

The whole distribution board, a single circuit, or a hand-written or printed Schedule of Test Results. Board Vision reads each one and fills in iCertifi for you.

Can I scan just one circuit?

Yes. Single Circuit mode lets you capture or update one way at a time, handy after a board alteration or to fill a gap.

Can it read a paper certificate or schedule?

Yes. Photograph a typed or hand-written Schedule of Test Results and Board Vision pulls in the readings, conductor sizes, R1+R2, insulation resistance, Zs, RCD trip times, polarity and more, checking each against BS 7671 as it goes.

Which boards does it work with?

Single-phase UK consumer units, split-load, dual-RCD, high-integrity, all-RCBO and single-RCD boards, including multi-row units.

Does it work with three-phase boards?

Three-phase (TP&N) board scanning is coming soon. Today it is optimised for single-phase consumer units.

Can it tell an MCB from an RCBO or AFDD?

Yes. It looks for test buttons, mA ratings and AFDD markings to tell the three apart, and assigns the matching BS EN standard automatically.

How accurate is it?

It gives you a fast, reliable first read and always shows you everything to review before importing. You confirm or correct anything before it is saved.

Does it need an internet connection?

Yes. The AI analysis runs in the cloud, so you need mobile data or Wi-Fi when you scan.

Will it delete my spare ways?

No. Spare and blank ways are kept as proper circuit records. Board Vision never removes a circuit for you.

What does it cost?

One AI token per imported circuit. New users get free welcome tokens, with top-up packs of 10, 50 and 250.
