What an EICR checks
The fixed wiring,
inspected and tested.
An EICR is a report on the condition of a property's fixed electrical installation, inspected and tested against BS 7671, the UK wiring regulations. It records anything that is unsafe or needs attention, and gives a recommended date for the next inspection.
- ✓The consumer unit (fuse box), its circuit breakers and RCD protection
- ✓Wiring and circuits, including signs of damage, wear or overheating
- ✓Sockets, switches and light fittings
- ✓Earthing and bonding
Plug-in appliances and gas aren't part of an EICR.
Reading your report
C1, C2, C3 and FI:
what the codes mean.
Each thing the inspector finds is given a code. Any C1, C2 or FI makes the report unsatisfactory; C3 items on their own don't.
C1
Danger present
There is a risk of injury. Immediate remedial action is needed.
C2
Potentially dangerous
Urgent remedial action is needed.
C3
Improvement recommended
Not dangerous as it stands, but improving it would make the installation safer.
FI
Further investigation
Something needs investigating further, without delay.
Report unsatisfactory? We quote the remedial work before anything starts. For homes and rented property, we do it within 14 days of your go-ahead. For commercial sites, the fixed remedial quote comes with the report pack.
Who needs one
Who needs an EICR?
Landlords
In England, private landlords need an EICR at least every five years (Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020). The rules, the deadlines and our landlord prices: landlord electrical safety certificates.
Buying or selling
An EICR shows the condition of the wiring before you commit, and answers a buyer's or surveyor's questions about the electrics.
Homeowners
Worth having if the wiring is old, you've just moved in, or you can't remember the last inspection. The report says when the next one is due.
Businesses and blocks
Shops, offices and communal areas, tested on a schedule from £20 per circuit, £250 minimum per site, ex VAT. See testing for commercial buildings.

Questions
EICR questions.
Is an EICR the same as an electrical safety certificate?
Yes, in everyday use. "Electrical safety certificate" is what most people call an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report): a report on the condition of the existing wiring. New electrical work gets its own certificate when it's finished, which is a different document.
How often should a home have an EICR?
For a home you live in, the report gives a recommended date for the next inspection, based on the age, condition and use of the installation. Renting it out? See landlord electrical safety certificates.
Will the power be off during the test?
For parts of it, yes. Some tests are done with the power off, circuit by circuit or for the whole property. When you book, tell us about anything that mustn't lose power, such as medical equipment or a freezer.
Can I get an EICR when I'm buying a house?
Yes. With the seller's permission, we can inspect and test before you exchange, so you know the condition of the wiring and what any remedial work would cost.
Do you do gas safety certificates as well?
No. An EICR covers the electrics only, and we're not Gas Safe registered.
