Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)

What is an EICR?

EICR, or Electrical Installation Condition Report, is a inspection performed by a qualified electrician to assess the electrical installations in a property. In England, EICRs are essential for ensuring that electrical systems comply with safety standards. This evaluation helps identify any potential safety hazards within the electrical installations. After the inspection, the electrician provides an EICR certificate, which describes the condition of the electrical systems and notes any issues found during the assessment.
This EICR certificate also includes recommendations for necessary improvements and repairs to ensure safety. An EICR is a formal document and a legal requirement for maintaining safety in commercial, domestic, and industrial properties. The EICR certificate are important documents that need regular updates. Overall, an EICR is a crucial safety check for all electrical installations in any building and is a vital part of maintaining electrical safety.

WHY DO YOU NEED THE DOMESTIC EICR CERTIFICATE?

According to government legislation, landlords must ensure that every fixed electrical installation is inspected and tested by a qualified person at least once every five years. The regulations also require landlords to obtain a report of the inspection and testing results, provide this report to each tenant within 28 days, and keep a copy until the next inspection is due.
