What an EICR covers

Beyond the sockets you can see.

An EICR involves inspection and testing of the permanent electrical installation. It considers the condition of circuits, wiring and earthing, within the agreed extent of the inspection.

The report records findings and classifies any issues, helping you understand the work or further investigation that may be needed.

   Domestic and tenanted properties

   Commercial and industrial premises

   Findings recorded in an electrical condition report

Understanding the findings

Four codes. Clear priorities.

Your electrician assigns the appropriate code to each relevant observation in the report.

C1

Danger present

Immediate remedial action is required.

C2

Potentially dangerous

Urgent remedial action is required.

C3

Improvement recommended

An improvement is recommended for the installation.

FI

Further investigation

Further investigation is required without delay.

Classification guidance: Electrical Safety First


Before your inspection

The right check for your property.

Fixed wiring, not portable appliances.

An EICR concerns the permanent electrical installation.
PAT testing is a different type of check for portable electrical appliances.

Check your next inspection date.

The appropriate interval depends on your property and the findings of the previous inspection. Share your existing report with us so we can discuss what you need.
