What is an EICR?
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) assesses the safety and condition of the electrical installations in a property. It identifies any necessary repairs or improvements and is typically valid for five years.
An EICR includes:
-
The results of the inspection and tests
-
A list of observations that require further investigation or remedial work
-
The date of the next inspection and test
