What is an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)?
Electrical Installation Condition Report is a full electrical test and inspection conducted every so often. All UK properties must abide by this testing process for insurance purposes and peace of mind.
The Electrical Installation Condition Report looks for potential hazards in electrical installation, overloaded circuits, electrical work out of regulation, fire hazards and more. As well as fuses and circuit breakers, ensuring they trip under fault conditions.
The test’s outcome shares the condition of the electrics in the property, whether they’re satisfactory for continued use or require repair and maintenance.
When should you carry out test in your property?
Regular electrical testing is required at certain intervals to ensure that the electrical installation is safe and compliant with regulations. These intervals include:
-
Up to 10 years for an owner-occupied home
-
Up to 5 years for a rented home
-
Up to 3 years for a caravan
In addition to these regular intervals, a periodic inspection and electrical test certificate is also required in the following situations:
-
Before selling a property or buying a previously-occupied property.
-
When a property is being prepared for renting out.
