An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) provides a detailed assessment of the safety and condition of your electrical installation. Our qualified electricians inspect and test your wiring, circuits, and electrical systems to identify any defects, potential hazards, or areas requiring improvement.
Whether you are a landlord, homeowner, or business owner, RC Compliance provides professional EICR testing to help ensure your property remains safe, compliant, and fit for continued use.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed inspection and test of an electrical installation to assess its safety and condition. The inspection identifies any defects, deterioration, damage, or potential safety risks and confirms whether the electrical system is safe for continued use.
An EICR helps ensure that electrical installations are safe, compliant, and operating correctly. It can identify hidden electrical faults that may pose risks such as electric shock or fire. EICRs are also a legal requirement in certain situations, including most privately rented properties.
Yes. In England, landlords must have the electrical installation in their rental properties inspected and tested at least every 5 years by a qualified electrician. A copy of the report must be provided to tenants and the local authority if requested.
The recommended frequency depends on the type of property and its use:
Private rented properties: Every 5 years or at the start of a new tenancy
Commercial premises: Typically every 5 years, depending on the environment and risk assessment
Domestic homeowners: Recommended every 10 years or when buying a property
An EICR inspection includes checking:
Consumer units and distribution boards
Wiring systems
Socket outlets and switches
Earthing and bonding arrangements
Protective devices
Electrical accessories
Signs of damage, overheating, or deterioration
Compliance with current electrical safety standards
The time required depends on the size and complexity of the installation. A typical domestic property may take around 2–4 hours, while larger commercial premises can take considerably longer.
If an EICR identifies safety issues, the report will highlight any defects using classification codes. RC Compliance can provide advice and remedial electrical works to bring the installation up to the required safety standard.
EICR observations are categorised using codes:
C1 – Danger Present: Immediate risk requiring urgent action
C2 – Potentially Dangerous: Immediate remedial work recommended
C3 – Improvement Recommended: Upgrade advised but not immediately dangerous
FI – Further Investigation Required: Additional investigation needed
