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.
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.
An EICR can help identify:
EICR inspectors use three distinct codes to rate all aspects of the electrical system.

Why do I need an EICR?
An EICR lets you evaluate the condition of the electrical system and ensure no deterioration or damage could result in further issues. Scheduling a regular EICR test keeps you and your family, tenants, and employees safe.
How long does an EICR last?
A periodic inspection generally lasts around 3-4 hours depending on the property's size and the number of circuits to be tested.
Government legislation states that an EICR must be carried out every 5 years for rented buildings and businesses, and every ten years for private properties.
