An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a document that verifies the safety and condition of the electrical installation in a property.
It is recommended that an EICR is carried out at least every 5 years for commercial properties and every 10 years for domestic properties, or sooner if there have been any changes to the installation or if the property is being rented out.
During an EICR, a qualified electrician will inspect the electrical installation and test the circuits, switches, sockets, and other electrical components to ensure they are safe and in good working condition. The electrician will then provide a report that outlines any defects, damage, or issues found during the inspection and make recommendations for repairs or upgrades as needed.
Having a valid EICR is important for ensuring the safety of the property and its occupants, as well as for complying with legal requirements and insurance policies.
