Why do I need an Electrical Inspection Condition Report (EICR)?
All electrical installations deteriorate with age and use. They should therefore be inspected and tested at regular intervals to check whether they are in a satisfactory condition for continued use. The test is called an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) and needs to be performed by a suitably qualified electrician.
Once these safety checks have been completed you will be issued with an Electrical Installation Certificate which will highlight any remedial work required.
An electrical inspection condition report (EICR) inspection will:
Reveal
if any of your electrical circuits or equipment are overloaded.
Find
any potential electric shock risks and fire hazards.
Identify
any defective electrical work.
Highlight
any lack of earthing or bonding.
EICR tests are also carried out on wiring and fixed electrical equipment to check that they are safe. A schedule of circuits is also provided, which is invaluable for a property.
How often is an EICR required?
Your electrics should be inspected and tested every:
10 Years
for an owner-occupied home.
5 Years
for a rented home.
5 Years
commercial.
3 Years
industrial.
Other times when a electrical condition report should be carried out are:
• When a property is being prepared for letting.
• Before selling a property or buying a previously-occupied property.
