What is an EICR?
Unlike a PAT test which needs to done annually and focuses on Appliances, an EICR is a 5 yearly inspection that focuses on your electrical infrastructure. Since April 2021 it has become a legal requirement.
What is it?
An EICR it stands for Electrical Installation Condition Report and since April 2021 it is now a legal requirement.
Once you've had the electrical installation in your home or business checked, the electrician will issue an EICR which will:
- Record the findings of the inspection and testing to make sure the electrical installation is safe to be used until the next inspection
- Find any damage and wear and tear that might affect safety, and report it
- Find any parts of the electrical installation that are substandard and do not meet the Wiring Regulations, the national standard to which all domestic and industrial wiring must conform
- Find anything in the installation that may cause electric shocks and risk of electrical fire
- Document and record the time of the inspection, and for inspection testing in the future
