An Electrical Installation Condition Report is the single most important safety check on a building's fixed wiring. Electrical faults are a leading cause of fires — an EICR finds the dangers before they cause harm.
Identifies shock and fire risks from deterioration, damage, overloading or poor previous work.
A legal requirement in rented homes and HMOs, and a duty-holder responsibility in workplaces and communal buildings.
Insurers, mortgage lenders, funders and auditors increasingly expect a current, satisfactory EICR.
Documented proof for your building safety file, framework audits and tenant assurance.
Every electrical installation deteriorates with age and use, so it should be periodically inspected and tested. The result is an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). BS 7671 recommends maximum intervals based on the type and use of the building — the inspector confirms the next date.
At least every 5 years — a legal requirement (or sooner if the report specifies).
Around every 10 years, or on change of occupancy.
Typically every 5 years, depending on use and environment.
Typically every 3 years, reflecting heavier use.
Intervals are a general guide — the qualified inspector sets the actual re-test date for each installation.
Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, landlords must have the fixed electrical installation inspected and tested at least every five years by a qualified, competent person — and supply the EICR to tenants.
This applies to all privately rented homes, including every House in Multiple Occupation (HMO). HMOs were already subject to five-yearly testing and remain so. We carry out the inspection, issue the report and complete any remedial works to bring the installation up to standard.
Alongside fixed wiring, we inspect and test fire detection & alarm systems (BS 5839) and emergency lighting (BS 5266) — keeping warning systems and escape routes ready when they're needed.
Periodic inspection and testing of fire detection and alarm systems — recommended at least every 6 months by a competent person, with weekly user tests in between. We test, service, certify and carry out remedial works.
A monthly short functional test and a full-duration (3-hour) annual test of emergency and escape-route lighting. We inspect, test, certify and repair or upgrade fittings.
What's expected varies by how a building is used and occupied. The typical guidance below is a starting point — the responsible person's risk assessment and the competent person set the final frequencies.
Fixed-wiring EICR typically every 5 years; fire alarm tested 6-monthly; emergency lighting monthly and a 3-hour annual test. The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 place duties on the employer/duty-holder.
EICR at least every 5 years — a legal requirement under the 2020 PRS Regulations. Fire detection and emergency lighting provided to suit the property's size and HMO grade, and tested regularly.
Communal-area EICR (commonly every 5 years), emergency lighting to escape routes, and any communal fire alarm tested to BS standards. Higher-risk buildings also carry duties under the Building Safety Act 2022.
Communal and individual EICRs, with fire detection and emergency lighting appropriate to vulnerable occupants — delivered on a planned, documented programme.
Guidance only — actual intervals depend on the installation's condition, the relevant British Standards and the responsible person's risk assessment.
If a report records any C1, C2 or FI, it is classed as unsatisfactory and remedial work is needed before it can pass.
Risk of injury. Immediate remedial action required.
Urgent remedial action required.
Not a fail, but improvement is advisable.
Further investigation required without delay.
