1) Looking for an EICR certified electrician?

Back to top

2) What is an EICR?

An EICR or electrical installation condition report, also referred to as a landlord's safety check,is an extensive inspection of all fixed electrical aspects and installation in a property. For landlords or letting agents, an EICR is a legal obligation which is carried out to make sure the electrical features are safe and free of faults for tenancy agreements. As you can imagine, electrical faults generally start off small and can go unnoticed for some time, often causing more damage as the electrical issue worsens. An EICR can help identify minor and major electrical hazards which could potentially lead to electrical shocks and fires.

3) What is included in an EICR?

All fixed electrical installations such as the lighting, wiring, switches, plug sockets and fuse box or consumer unit are inspected to make sure they are compliant, free of faults and in good working condition. If the property includes additional electrical systems such as solar panels, underfloor heating and home EV chargers, we will inspect these systems too.

4) Who conducts an EICR?

An EICR should only be conducted by a qualified and competent professional. At EMC Electrical group, our electrical engineers are fully NICEIC domestic installer and approved contractor accredited. We are regularly assessed and a number of the electrical projects we conduct are checked to make sure safety regulations have been considered and all work is in line with building standards. We have a thorough understanding of the BS 7671 standards, the Health and Safety at Work Act (1974) and the Electricity at work Regulations )1989).

5) What happens during an EICR?

An initial visual inspection is carried out by our qualified electricians. The inspection will assess the current state of the electrical installations, paying particular attention to any faults as well as wear and tear.

Further testing is carried out using state of the art testing tools. Our experienced and knowledgeable electricians will inspect the following:

  • Any electrical devices or systems installed to protect against fire and electric shock.
  • Identify any live wiring which poses a major fire hazard.
  • Ensure that adequate earthing and bonding is visible.

6) EICR, the outcomes?

Any faults or failures we do find will be identified on the report, a formal document. Each fault identified will be assigned a classification code to identify the severity of the fault.

  • C1- The most serious code. Faults such as broken earthing, exposed live wires or overheating of electrical fixtures. If any faults are identified as C1 during the inspection, we will conduct immediate remedial work to make sure the property is safe before we leave.
  • C2- There is potential danger such as damage to insulation or sockets are incorrectly placed close to water sources.
  • C3- No immediate danger but improvements would be ideal.
  • F1- Further investigation if we think the fault needs further assessment.

If the inspection is successful, you will receive a satisfactory outcome. However, any faults we do identify will need to be remedied within 28 days.

7) EICR for homeowners or landlords

Landlords are legally bound to complete and retain records of EICR testing, an EICR must be carried out every 5 years with copies of the report provided to tenants and the local authority.

If you’re a homeowner, although it might not be a legal obligation to conduct an EICR, EMC Electrical group strongly suggests you consider an EICR if the electrical installations in the property are older than 10 years. By conducting an EICR, you can bring the electrical aspects of your home in line with current industry regulations which means the electrical installations are more efficient but most importantly, safer!
