What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is carried out to determine the electrical safety of a property. It is an official document produced after an in-depth inspection of a building’s wires, fittings, and cables in compliance with the National Safety Standards.
An EICR ensures you and your tenants are protected from fires and electric shocks. As a landlord, you may face prosecution if a tenant is harmed because of defective electrical work. In many cases, the local council will require a Condition Report to licence rental properties.
Most insurers will require an EICR report before providing sufficient cover to protect your workers or the public. This enables tenants to be rightfully compensated in case of electric-related emergencies.
What is inspected in an EICR?
During a periodic inspection, the fuse board, wiring and electrical accessories will be systematically assessed for faults or where they have deviated from the conventional Wiring Standards.
