Frequent Questions

What is an EICR?

The Institute of Electrical Engineers (IEE) advises that electrical installations are periodically inspected, tested, and certified. An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an inspection of the condition of an existing electrical installation for defects. An EICR is a series of tests which ensure the electrical installation complies with national safety standards as required by the BS7671 Wiring Regulations. This ensures the continued safety of existing electrical installations.

How often is an EICR required?

Every 10 years for households or domestic dwellings
5 years for offices, hospitals, schools, leisure centres and retail
3 years for factories and industrial installations
5 years for rented accommodation (or change of occupancy)
1 year for special locations such as swimming pools & petrol stations

Why do I need an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition report is essential to:

Identify dangerous faults.
Discover electrical circuits or equipment that is overloaded.
Find potential fire hazards and potential electrical shock risks.
Identify defective electrical work undertaken previously
Discover any missing earthing or bonding.
Produce a circuit schedule

What is an Electrical Installation Certificate?

The requirements of the BS 7671 IEE Wiring Regulations mean that all completed electrical installations must be inspected for compliance and tested using the correct test equipment before certification and updating of documentation.
