A: An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a report carried out to assess the safety of existing electrical installations within a property. It is a universal assessment of the condition of a residential home’s electrics, to keep the tenant or homeowner safe.
A: As of July 2020, regulations require landlords to have a valid EICR. This must be carried out before the tenancy begins, and inspected at least every 5 years following.
For privately owned homes, regulations are less strict, however, it is still advisable to have an EICR test carried out on your home every 5-10 years.

Installations do not receive pass/fail status but are instead graded as satisfactory/unsatisfactory. Every installation differs but generally, newer properties or properties which have not been modified, tend to have a better likelihood of receiving satisfactory status.
A: With an unsatisfactory report, you will be issued with a list of required remedial action in order to receive satisfactory status:
🗲 C1 items are classed as immediately dangerous and must be rectified.
🗲 C2 items are classed as potentially dangerous and must be rectified.
🗲 C3 items are recommended for an upgrade for optimum safety.
🗲 FI items are items that require further investigation.
For a satisfactory report, all C1 and C2 items must be rectified. Any remaining FI items must be investigated for a satisfactory report.
