Electrical Inspection condition report (EICR)

An EICR, or Electrical Inspection Condition Report (Electrical Certificate), is an in-depth inspection of your property’s electrical systems and installation. The inspection is to assess and identify any condition, deterioration, or defect which has the potential to result in danger.

In this electrical safety certification, all the electrical systems and installations present in residential or commercial buildings are thoroughly inspected.

Purpose of an electrical certificate

An EICR report must include a complete record of all checks performed to assure legal compliance. The report will include any proposed corrective steps or changes that landlords will either need to do to secure certification or to consider in the future to keep the property as safe as possible if faults or potential concerns in electrical safety are discovered.

 

The electrical safety inspection's goal is to;

• Determine whether there are any possible safety hazards in the property's permanent installations (lights, sockets, fixtures, electric storage boiler etc.).

• Identify any electrical work that has been inadequately completed and is either harmful or potentially hazardous.

• Check that no electrical circuits or equipment is overloaded.

• Check that the earthing and bonding are correctly done and that there is enough resistance to trip the circuit breakers in the case of a surge.

• Find components of an electrical installation that do not meet the Institution of Engineering and Technology’s Wiring Regulations.
