An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an inspection and test of an existing electrical installation to assess its condition and whether it is suitable for continued use.

What is an EICR?

An EICR involves inspecting and testing the fixed electrical installation within a property.

This can include:

Consumer units and distribution boards
Wiring and electrical circuits
Sockets and switches
Lighting circuits and accessories
Earthing and bonding
RCD protection
Fixed electrical equipment
Visible signs of damage, deterioration or unsafe alterations

The inspection is carried out against the requirements of the current applicable edition of BS 7671 – Requirements for Electrical Installations, taking into account the condition and characteristics of the installation at the time of inspection.

The findings are recorded in an Electrical Installation Condition Report, including any observations, recommendations and relevant test results.

Why have an EICR?

Electrical installations deteriorate over time and may also have been altered, extended or repaired since they were originally installed.

An EICR can help identify:

Potential electric shock hazards
Potential fire risks
Damaged or deteriorated electrical equipment
Defective wiring or accessories
Problems with earthing or bonding
Inadequate or missing protective measures
Poor or potentially unsafe alterations
Areas where further investigation may be required

An EICR gives you a documented assessment of the condition of the electrical installation at the time it is inspected and tested.

Understanding EICR codes

EICR observations are given classification codes to indicate the significance of the issue identified.

C1

Danger present

A C1 observation means that danger is present and there is a risk of injury. Appropriate action is required.

C2

Potentially dangerous

A C2 observation indicates a potentially dangerous condition where remedial work is required.

C3

Improvement recommended

A C3 observation means that improvement is recommended, but remedial work is not required for the installation to be considered satisfactory.

FI

Further investigation required

An FI observation means that further investigation is required without delay.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We can’t recommend Andy enough. He has done a few jobs for us now - garage lighting, tidied up the garage wiring and cabling, outside socket and soon he will be back to install new loft lighting. Most recently he came to our rescue to sort out a problem when we were left without a power supply. He is polite, conscientious and works to a high standard. Thank you Andy.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Andy came to PAT test some of my equipment that I needed servicing at super short notice (same day infact!) He was really friendly, knowledgeable and got the job done in a short amount of time. Would highly recommend him to anyone.
