What Is EICR Testing?
​

EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a detailed inspection and testing of your property’s electrical wiring, installation, and systems. This essential safety check ensures your electrics are in good condition and comply with the IEE 18th Edition safety standards. It must be carried out by a qualified electrician, like us, as it involves inspecting areas of the electrical system that are hidden from view.

​

An EICR helps identify potential risks, such as faulty wiring or issues with fuse boards, showers, switches, sockets, etc. which could lead to electric shocks or fires.

​

Why Is EICR Testing Important?

 

For landlords, ensuring tenant safety is a legal responsibility. It’s vital to ensure that electrical systems, including wiring, appliances, and fuse boxes, are installed and functioning properly. While basic visual inspections may detect some issues, many cables are hidden behind walls and ceilings, meaning a qualified electrician must conduct an EICR test with test equipment to identify hidden risks.

​

Regular EICR testing is crucial for:

​

• Ensuring the safety and functionality of your electrical installation

• Detecting hidden wiring issues that may pose serious risks

• Meeting legal safety requirements for landlords

• Preventing potential hazards like electric shocks and fires

• Selling property to give purchaser confidence of electrical system safety
