FAQ's - EICR

In England, landlords are legally required to have their rental properties' electrical installations inspected and tested at least every 5 years by a qualified and competent person. This is mandated by the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020. The inspection results in an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), which the landlord must provide to the tenant and the local authority upon reques
Landlords – EICR law All tenancies in England require a valid EICR.
An EICR helps identify potential hazards, such as faulty wiring, loose connections, inadequate earthing, or outdated components that may pose risks of electric shock, fires, or other accidents. By addressing these issues promptly, an EICR helps prevent electrical accidents and ensures the well-being of occupants
For domestic rented properties, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is typically valid for 5 years. Landlords are legally required to have a valid EICR for their properties and provide a copy to tenants and the local authority if requested
Is there a fine for not having an EICR certificate? Yes, landlords who fail to carry out an EICR (or any recommended repairs) before starting a new tenancy can face fines of up to £30,000. Local authorities are responsible for enforcing these rules under the Housing Act 2004.
1st April 2020 The new regulations, titled The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, were officially brought in on 1st April 2020. In July 2020, all new tenancies required an EICR. As of 1st April 2021, this requirement applies to all tenancies – new and existing.
No, an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) and an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) are not the same. An EIC is issued after a new electrical installation or a major alteration, while an EICR is a periodic inspection to assess the safety of an existing electrical installation
If the insulation is damaged or degraded, it can reduce the resistance to the flow of electrical current, increasing the risk of electrical shocks or fires. Hence, an EICR is likely to fail if there are low insulation resistance readings in the electrical installation.
No, any electrician cannot perform an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report). While all EICRs must be carried out by qualified electricians, they also need specific qualifications and experience in electrical inspection and testing. Not all electricians possess these additional skills
Expired EICRs also pose significant safety risks, as potential hazards in the electrical system may go undetected, increasing the likelihood of electrical fires or accidents. To avoid these issues, property owners and managers should schedule a new EICR well before the current one expires.
