    Electrical Inspection Condition Report (EICR) is similar to an MOT for a car. Its primarily designed to reduce risks to persons and property from electrical fire and electric shock .

  According to a Home Office report dated 27th June 2017, Fire and Rescue Services (FRS) attended  30,296 fires (in home type dwellings) in 2016-17, resulting in 5,358 injuries and 213 fatalities. 

​

RENTALS

​

    EICR's have been a legal obligation since around 2018, for domestic rental properties, at a maximum of 5 year intervals. Commercial properties have required EICR's for years.

​

DETAILS

​

      They are typically relatively complex documents with around 200 data points, as opposed to around 10 for a typical Gas certificate and less then 10 for an MOT.  The cost of an EICR is not 20 times bigger ! on the contrary, they are very low cost for the amount of work and responsibility involved.

​

    We pride ourselves on applying 'Best Practice Guides and professional integrity to the EICR process, so that the customer, ultimately receives the best possible value for money, through safe, reliable and proven processes.

 

ADVICE

     To make the work of an Inspect and Tester easier, safer and more efficient, ask him or her in advance what the work will involve, in regard to turning off power and isolating items for the testing process. Safety during the testing and inspection  process is paramount and something we take very seriously.
