What Is An EICR?
An EICR is a crucial safety measure to ensure that electrical systems function correctly and comply with applicable regulations. This is especially important for landlords and business owners who are responsible for the safety of their tenants and employees, but also for homeowners. Tests should be carried out every 5 years for both businesses and homes.
The report itself is a formal document produced after thoroughly inspecting and testing an electrical installation. The report is intended to provide an assessment of the safety of the electrical system in a building and identify any potential risks or hazards. A qualified electrician typically carries out an Electrician EICR, which involves a detailed examination of all fixed electrical equipment, wiring, accessories, and the circuits and systems that supply them. The report will outline any defects found during the inspection, along with recommendations for remedial action that needs to be taken to bring the installation up to the required safety standards – upon which a quote for the fixes will be given.
