Keep your test instrument accuracy records up to date and ready for your next NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA assessment — all from your iPhone or iPad. GN3 and BS 7671:2018 require every electrician using test instruments for certification work to maintain a documented system for confirming ongoing instrument accuracy. When your assessor asks for evidence, Verifi gives you a complete, professional record to hand over — not a lost form or a half-finished spreadsheet. KEY FEATURES: • Instrument Management — Add every instrument in your fleet: make, model, serial number, asset tag, purchase date, firmware version and photos. Megger, Fluke, Kewtech, Metrel, Robin or any other make — every instrument gets its own profile. • Standardised Accuracy Checks — Record structured checks for continuity, insulation resistance, loop impedance, no-trip loop, RCD trip time, RCD trip current, voltage, earth electrode resistance, PFC and phase rotation. Verifi applies the BS EN 61557 dual-criteria tolerance calculation automatically — percentage or absolute, whichever is tighter — and gives a clear pass or fail. • Calibration Certificate Tracking — Store calibration date, provider, certificate number, UKAS accreditation status and the certificate document itself. Your full calibration history is always one tap away. • Check Box Profiles — If you use a CalCard or reference check box, set up the details once and Verifi includes them automatically in every accuracy check record. • Test Lead Condition Assessment — Record probe tip condition, fuse integrity, voltage rating, CAT rating, fuse type and probe tip exposure in line with GS 38 requirements. • Drift Analysis — Track measurement drift over time for every instrument. Spot a tester reading consistently high or low before it becomes a problem at calibration or on a live job. • Fleet Dashboard — See the status of every instrument at a glance with colour-coded LED indicators, calibration gauges showing days remaining, oscilloscope-style accuracy trend charts, and a due-date timeline. Manage one MFT or twenty instruments across multiple engineers from a single screen. • PDF Reports — Generate a professional accuracy record report for any instrument or your full fleet in seconds. Formatted for NICEIC, NAPIT and ELECSA assessments with all required fields, check results, calibration references, test lead records and ambient conditions. • CSV Export — Export instrument data and check records in CSV format for employers or scheme providers with their own reporting requirements. • Apple Wallet Passes — Generate a Wallet pass for each instrument showing serial number, last check date, next calibration due and current status. Show your assessor live instrument status without opening the app. • Calibration Reminders — Push notifications alert you when accuracy checks or calibrations are coming due, so you never discover a lapsed certificate the morning of an assessment. • iCloud Sync — Records sync automatically across every iPhone and iPad on your iCloud account. Record a check on-site from your iPhone, print the report from your iPad in the office. • Works Offline — Create and view accuracy checks without an internet connection. Records sync when connectivity is restored. BUILT FOR UK ELECTRICIANS: Verifi is the companion app from iCertifi — the electrical certification app trusted by thousands of UK electricians. Together, iCertifi and Verifi give you a complete digital toolkit: certificates produced on-site, and the instrument accuracy records to back them up.

Certify smarter. Certify faster. Certly turns your iPad into a compliance certificate workstation. Built for electricians, fire alarm engineers and other trades who issue certificates on site, it replaces messy paperwork and clunky desktop tools with a single, fast app designed for the field. Whether you're issuing an EICR, minor works certificate, or fire detection and alarm system commissioning, Certly handles the full workflow — from booking the job to handing over a signed PDF. What you can do with Certly • Create compliant certificates in landscape on your iPad, with all the inputs structured the way the standards expect • Manage clients and their properties — quickly pull up history, contacts and previous work • Schedule jobs and view them in a calendar that fits the way you actually plan your week • Build templates for the certificates you issue most often, so a new cert is half-filled before you start • Run auto quality checks that flag missing fields, inconsistencies and common errors before you sign off • Capture site evidence with the iPad camera and attach photos directly to certificates • Sign and have your customer sign on-screen — no printing, no scanning • Generate professional PDF certificates ready to email or hand over before you leave the site • Stay in sync across devices — pick up where you left off when you swap between iPads Designed for the way trades work: Certly is landscape-only on iPad because that's how you actually use a tablet on a job — propped on a clipboard, on the bonnet of the van, or laid flat on a desk. The interface is dense where you need it (long forms with multiple inputs visible at once) and lean where you don't. Compliance you can trust: Certly's certificate structures track the canonical formats used in UK certification. The auto quality check engine reduces the most common reasons certificates get bounced back, so what you issue is right first time. Subscription: Certly is offered on a subscription.
