What is an EICR Certificate?
An EICR, or Electrical Installation Condition Report, checks whether your property’s wiring and electrics are safe. It is also known as Landlord Safety Test, Electrical Safety Certificate or the Homebuyer’s Test.
Whether it’s a business or a domestic property you rent out; your electrical installation should always be covered by an in date EICR.
To make sure your home is safe, we recommend you have an EICR every 10 years. If you rent out a property, you should have one every five years, a sooner re-inspection may be required if specified in the most recent report or for certain commercial properties.
ASSESSMENT SURVEY BOOKED
What Happens During an EICR?
During an EICR, the Fuse Board (Consumer Unit), wiring and electrical accessories are inspected and tested for faults or deviations from the Wiring Standards. Throughout the test, the following will be inspected and tested:
- The adequacy of the main earthing and bonding(s).
- Devices for protection against fire and electric shock.
- Any damage or wear and tear that might affect the safety of the property’s inhabitants.
- Identification of any damaged electrical fittings and accessories.
- Identification of any exposed live wires that could cause a fire or injury.
CERTIFICATES ISSUED
What Does It Mean For Landlords?
From April-2021, it’s a legal requirement for landlords to provide copy of EICR to their existing or new tenants.
As a landlord, you’re responsible for the safety of the electrics throughout the property – this includes the installation itself and any electrical appliances you’ve provided. You’ll need to make sure these are safe when a new tenant moves in and is maintained for the duration of their tenancy.
But if you don’t, you could face fines of up to £30,000 and your insurance could be invalidated. Banning orders may also be brought for serious or repeated offences.
