What is EICR testing

It is an in-depth assessment of your property's electrical systems and installation carried out by an electrical installation condition report (EICR). The competence of your electrics is evaluated in three main areas, as detailed in the report:

C1 - This implies a hazard and that quick action is required to avoid further damage.
C2 - This implies that there is a possibility for danger and that you should seek immediate care.
Although the electrical system does not seem to be in danger, the C3 rating nonetheless suggests that the electrical system be improved.

How do you know if you need an EICR

Electrical systems degrade with wear and ageing over time. If they are not examined regularly, they might pose a concern; inadequately insulated wiring can generate deadly electrical shorts, while defective wiring and appliances can cause electrical fires. So, whether you're a company owner, landlord, or homeowner, it's critical that you do frequent inspections on the state of your property's electrics. The IET Wiring Regulations BS 7671, which establishes the standard for electrical installations in the United Kingdom, proposed the following: Owners of businesses should get an EICR exam every five years. Landlords should also have an EICR test every five years or if there is a tenancy change. Homeowners should have an EICR test performed every ten years unless the property contains a swimming pool, in which case your electrics should be examined annually.

What are the consequences of not having an EICR

Although having an up-to-date EICR is not currently a legal requirement, landlords and company owners are legally liable for the wellbeing of their tenants and workers.
EICRs should not be neglected by anybody considering purchasing a home. Checking to see whether a property has an up-to-date EICR before handing a seller money might have fatal consequences.

    EET Testing means: Electrical Equipment Testing. Within the new IET 5th Edition Code of Practice for the In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment comes a range of changes such as the change in name from PAT Testing (Portable Appliance Testing) to EET Testing (Electrical Equipment Testing).

    EET Testing will gradually take over and replace the phrase PAT testing.
