Understanding the issue
An EICR assesses the condition of a fixed electrical installation against relevant safety requirements at the time of inspection.
What to check
Testing and inspection can identify deterioration, damage and departures that may require remedial work. Observations are classified according to their significance.
When to get advice
An EICR is an inspection report, not the same thing as carrying out electrical repairs. Any remedial work should be separately agreed.
This is general information, not a substitute for inspecting your property. Do not work on gas equipment or live electrical parts unless appropriately qualified. If there is immediate danger, call 999. If you smell gas or suspect a gas escape, leave the affected area and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 from a safe location. Do not operate electrical switches or use naked flames.
