Electrical Installation Condition Reports are essential for ensuring the safety and functionality of electrical systems in a building or property. They provide a detailed assessment of the current state of the electrical components.

What is an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)?

An electrical installation condition report (EICR) is a formal inspection and test of a building’s fixed electrical installation.

The check covers wiring, consumer units, sockets, RCDs and other installed equipment, and it records any defects and recommended remedial work. The EICR results in an EICR report and a signed electrical installation condition report certificate for your records.

Why landlords need an EICR and a landlord electrical safety certificate

If you rent out property in England you must have the electrical installation inspected and tested at intervals no longer than five years, unless a shorter interval is specified by the inspector. A compliant EICR provides the landlord electrical safety certificate that proves the property meets required safety standards. Keep the certificate and provide a copy to tenants on request.
