An EICR is a formal document produced after an inspection and testing of the electrical installations in a property. It identifies any damage, defects, or unsafe conditions that might pose a risk and ensures the installation complies with the latest wiring regulations (BS 7671).
Domestic Premises: Recommended every 10 years (or 5 years for rental properties).
Commercial Premises: Recommended every 5 years, or as specified by risk assessment.
Change of Occupancy: An EICR is often required when a property is sold or rented out.
Domestic EICR: Focuses on smaller-scale systems, such as lighting, sockets, and appliances in homes.
Commercial EICR: Covers larger, more complex systems, including three-phase supplies, machinery, and emergency lighting. It also considers higher usage and stricter safety standards.
Only a qualified electrician or approved contractor with the necessary certifications (e.g., City & Guilds 2391 or 2394/2395) can perform an EICR. They must be registered with a competent person scheme (e.g., NICEIC, NAPIT, or ELECSA).
If the EICR identifies issues (coded as C1, C2, or FI), these must be addressed immediately:
C1 (Danger Present): Urgent repairs required.
C2 (Potentially Dangerous): Remedial work needed soon.
FI (Further Investigation): Additional testing or inspection required.
Once repairs are completed, a follow-up inspection may be needed to issue a satisfactory report.
Domestic Premises: £100–£300, depending on property size and location.
Commercial Premises: £200–£1,000+, depending on the size and complexity of the installation.
