In some cases, the electrical installations in commercial and residential properties require a comprehensive inspection by a licensed engineer or electrician. The findings and recommendations are documented in something that is called an Electrical Installation Condition Report or EICR.
These reports contain a lot of useful information including how to maintain safe operations and maximise efficiency.
Here at Energy Performance Certificates, we follow the National Safety Standards in all the tests we conduct.
EICRs include the following features:

Safety
The biggest reason to have EICR inspections is to maintain safe operations.
Although it is entirely normal that small issues occur in your electrical system as it ages, leaving these issues unattended can make them worse, more costly to fix and even dangerous to the people on the property.
To prevent these risks, regular EICR testing is one of the best countermeasures. These tests identify such problems early on which allows property owners to deal with them in a timely manner. This saves them time, money, and hassle in the long run.
Energy Efficiency
In line with society’s shift into a more sustainable future, energy efficiency is also becoming increasingly important. EICR tests determine which parts of the electrical installation are not running at optimum condition and recommendations are made to fix them.
Not only does this promote energy conservation and sustainability, for property owners, especially those managing multiples properties, the cost savings in the reduced power bills are also a highly attractive prospect.
Regulations
Depending on the properties you own, or the features present in them, you may be required by regulations to have regular EICR inspections conducted.
The Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government, for example, now requires landlords to have regular EICR inspections conducted in their properties. They also need to present satisfactory reports to incoming and existing tenants at least once every five years.
The following items are included in the EICR inspection checklist:
