Faulty wires, cables, and fuses are some of the leading causes of fires and electrical shocks. When neglected, these hazards can result in injuries, damage, and even loss of life.

Why you need an EICR
During the inspection, a registered electrician evaluates the condition of all electrical installations including fixed wirings, sockets, fuses, circuits, lights, and appliances. The electrician will check if they are in good working order and whether they comply with safety standards.

Electrical fixtures are graded using three major classification codes:
Landlords are legally required to provide EICRs to all tenants. An EICR is valid for up to five years, but landlords are mandated to get a new one for every change of tenancy. In some scenarios, the electrician may recommend a re-inspection sooner depending on the age and condition of your electrical system.
The law states that tenants must receive a copy of the EICR within 28 days from the scheduled inspection. Landlords are also expected to retain a copy of the latest EICR until the next scheduled test.
Electrical safety checks must be performed only by those who have the right skills and knowledge.
