What is an EICR

An EICR is conducted by a certified technician who inspects the integrity of the electrical system of a home or building. This means inspecting all the electrical systems to make sure that they have been correctly installed and have been properly maintained. The report will state if the electrical system has been installed according to UK Standards for Safety of Electrical Installations (BS7671). If the electrical system passes the inspection, then an EICR will be issued. The report will also outline any faults or potential problems found during the inspection.

This may include electrical problems that need to be addressed immediately or preventative measures that should be implemented to avoid problems in the future.
