While newly constructed properties should already comply with current standards, it is still advisable to obtain an EICR for peace of mind and to ensure that all installations are safe and properly functioning.
If issues are identified, they will be categorised based on their severity. Immediate dangers will require urgent action, while less critical issues may be scheduled for future repairs. The report will detail all findings and provide recommendations for remedial work.
The inspection involves a comprehensive assessment of all electrical installations in the property. This includes checking the condition of wiring, circuits and any fixed electrical equipment. The electrician will identify any issues that could pose safety risks or affect performance.
Only qualified and certified electricians should carry out EICR inspections. They possess the necessary training and expertise to accurately assess and report on the condition of electrical installations.
For residential properties, it is recommended to conduct an EICR every 5 years or at the change of occupancy. For commercial properties, the frequency may vary depending on the nature of the business but generally ranges from 3 to 5 years.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an official document produced after a thorough assessment of a property’s electrical system. It identifies any damage, defects or potentially dangerous conditions and ensures compliance with current safety standards.
