Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ's
What is an EICR Certificate? / What does EICR stand for?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an official document that assesses the condition of the electrical installation within a property. It is often required for landlords, homeowners, and businesses to ensure the safety and compliance of their electrical systems. What does EICR stand for? EICR stands for Electrical Installation Condition Report. It is a comprehensive inspection of the electrical wiring, circuits, and other electrical components within a property to determine if they meet the current safety standards outlined in the wiring regulations. Why is an EICR certificate important? An EICR certificate is important for several reasons: 1. Safety: It ensures that the electrical installation is safe for use and reduces the risk of electrical accidents, such as fires or electric shocks. 2. Legal Compliance: Landlords and businesses are often legally required to obtain an EICR certificate to comply with regulations and fulfill their duty of care towards tenants, employees, or customers. 3. Insurance Requirements: Some insurance policies may require an up-to-date EICR certificate to provide coverage in case of electrical incidents. 4. Property Sale or Rent: When selling or renting out a property, having a valid EICR certificate can reassure potential buyers or tenants about the safety and quality of the electrical installation. Who can conduct an EICR inspection EICR inspections should be carried out by qualified and competent electricians who are registered with a recognized electrical trade body, such as NICEIC, ELECSA, or NAPIT. These professionals have the expertise and knowledge to thoroughly assess the electrical installation and provide accurate recommendations for any necessary repairs or improvements. How often is an EICR inspection required? The frequency of EICR inspections depends on the type of property and its intended use: - Domestic Properties:For rented properties, EICR inspections are typically required every 5 years or at change of tenancy, whichever comes first. - Commercial Properties: EICR inspections may be required more frequently, often annually or at shorter intervals, depending on the type of business and its electrical usage. What happens during an EICR inspection? During an EICR inspection, the electrician will conduct a thorough examination of the electrical installation, including the consumer unit (fuse box), wiring, sockets, switches, lighting, and other fixed electrical appliances. They will check for any signs of wear and tear, damage, or non-compliance with current regulations. The inspection may also include tests for earth continuity, insulation resistance, and polarity to ensure the safety and integrity of the electrical system. What happens after an EICR inspection? Following the inspection, the electrician will issue an EICR certificate detailing their findings and any remedial actions required to bring the installation up to standard. Depending on the severity of any defects or issues identified, they may categorise them as either 'C1' (danger present), 'C2' (potentially dangerous), 'C3' (improvement recommended), or 'FI' (further investigation required). It is essential to address any 'C1' or 'C2' issues promptly to ensure the safety of the property and its occupants.

Is an EICR a legal requirement? / Can you rent without an EICR?
The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 aim to ensure the safety of tenants by requiring landlords to have their properties' electrical installations inspected and tested every five years by a qualified and competent person. Landlords must provide tenants and local authorities with copies of the electrical safety reports. This regulation, effective since June 1, 2020, emphasises the importance of safe and secure housing across all residential premises. What do the Regulations require? Landlords are obliged to meet national standards for electrical safety, as outlined in the 18th edition of the Wiring Regulations BS:7671. Key requirements include regular inspection and testing of electrical installations, providing reports to tenants and authorities, and ensuring timely remedial action if needed. Applicability to Rented Properties The Regulations apply to any private rental property where a tenant pays rent and has the right to occupy it as their main residence. However, certain exceptions exist, including social housing, long leases, and specific accommodation types like hostels or care homes. Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) HMOs with five or more tenants are subject to the Regulations, replacing previous electrical safety requirements. Licensing conditions now mandate proper working order and safety of every electrical installation in such properties. Finding Qualified Inspectors Landlords must engage qualified and competent inspectors for inspections. Various industry bodies offer guidance on selecting inspectors, including competent person schemes. Inspectors should have appropriate qualifications, insurance, and knowledge of current wiring regulations. Standards and Inspection Details Inspections focus on fixed electrical parts like wiring, sockets, and consumer units. They aim to identify overloads, potential hazards, defective work, and ensure proper earthing and bonding. Electrical appliances are not covered, but landlords are encouraged to conduct portable appliance testing regularly. The Inspection Report Landlords must obtain Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) from inspectors, detailing outcomes and any necessary remedial work. Reports must be shared with tenants, new occupants, and local authorities promptly. Remedial work, if required, should be completed within specified timeframes. Remedial Work and Penalties Landlords are obliged to carry out necessary remedial work within set timeframes and provide confirmation to tenants and authorities. Failure to comply may result in local authorities taking action, including arranging remedial work at the landlord's expense or imposing financial penalties. Appeals and Further Questions Landlords have the right to appeal against local authority decisions. Existing installations must meet safety standards, and new properties must provide Electrical Installation Certificates (EICs) to tenants. The Regulations apply to various tenancy types, including periodic tenancies, depending on contractual arrangements.
