What is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report records the condition of a property's fixed electrical installation at the time of inspection. Often called an electrical safety certificate or landlord electrical certificate, it identifies defects, potential dangers and any further investigation or improvements recommended, within the agreed scope and limitations.

EICR testing for landlords and homeowners

For rented homes in England covered by the electrical safety regulations, landlords must arrange inspection and testing by a qualified, competent person at least every five years, or sooner where the report requires it. A copy of the report must be provided to new tenants before they move in and to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection.

For homeowners, an EICR helps you understand the condition of the installation, including when buying a property or investigating concerns about older wiring.

What does the inspection cover?

Inspection and testing assess the consumer unit, fixed wiring, sockets, lighting circuits, earthing, bonding and protective devices, within the agreed scope. Relevant tests include continuity, insulation resistance, polarity, earth fault loop impedance and RCD operation.

Power will need to be switched off during parts of the inspection. Please provide access to the consumer unit and electrical accessories, and tell us about any equipment that must remain powered. The time needed depends on the number of circuits, access and the condition of the installation.

What happens if problems are found?

The report explains the findings and whether the installation is satisfactory for continued use. C1 means danger present, C2 means potentially dangerous, FI means further investigation is required without delay, and C3 means improvement recommended. A C3 observation alone does not make a report unsatisfactory.

We can discuss any remedial work or further investigation identified in your report. For rented homes covered by the regulations, required work must be completed within 28 days, or sooner where specified.

Unsatisfactory EICR or a high quote? Get a second opinion

Many people contact us after receiving an unsatisfactory EICR, a very high price for remedial work, or a long list of jobs that do not seem necessary. We are happy to give an honest second opinion.

To help us, please send:

• your latest EICR — all pages, including the schedule of test results
• clear photos of the fuse board and of each item coded C1, C2 or FI

We will explain which items genuinely need attention and which do not. If you then go ahead with remedial work or a fuse board upgrade, the latest EICR also helps us give you a more accurate quotation.
