What is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed assessment conducted by certified electricians to evaluate the safety of electrical installations within a property. It identifies any potential hazards, defects, or deviations from the current Wiring Standards, ensuring your electrical systems are safe and up to regulatory standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who needs an EICR?

Anyone responsible for the maintenance of a property, including landlords, homeowners, and business owners.

It's recommended every 10 years for homeowners and every 5 years for rented properties, with variations depending on the property's use and the latest inspection report.

The report covers the adequacy of earthing and bonding, checks for protection against fire and electric shock, and identifies any wear and tear or damage.

While it’s not a legal requirement to have an EICR to sell a property, some buyers or their solicitors may request one. An up-to-date EICR may facilitate the sale process by providing reassurance of the property’s electrical safety.

The duration of an EICR inspection varies depending on the size and complexity of the property’s electrical installation. For a typical domestic property, it might take a few hours, whereas larger commercial properties can take longer.

If your property fails the EICR, it’s important to address the identified issues as soon as possible. The report will detail any faults and recommendations for remedial work. It’s advisable to hire a qualified electrician to carry out the necessary repairs to ensure your property meets electrical safety standards.

Ensure access to all electrical components, including sockets, light fixtures, and the consumer unit, is clear. It’s also helpful to have all electrical systems accessible and operational to allow for comprehensive testing.

Newly built properties or properties with new electrical installations will have an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) instead of an EICR. However, an EICR is recommended after the property reaches 10 years of age or if a change in occupancy occurs in rental properties.
