What is EICR testing?
An EICR is the inspection and testing for faults and deviations from the Wiring Standards for electrical installations, such as the Fuse Board (Consumer Unit), wiring, and other electrical accessories. There are multiple areas that affect the inspection and what we gather data on:
- How adequate the main earthing and bonding is
- Fire and electric shock protection
- Identify damaged fittings and accessories
- Potential risks from damages to the safety of the property’s inhabitants
- Identify any live wires that are a safety risk
Due to the above, to ensure maximum safety for tenants, landlords are legally required to present an EICR report to existing or new tenants, and if any work is required, they must have this actioned. The test must be carried out every 5 years – or in the case of a new tenant, at change of tenancy.
