Residential Eicr

What is a Residential EICR?

A Residential Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an official document issued by a certified electrical safety engineer to confirm that a property’s electrical installation meets the required UK safety standards (BS 7671). The EICR identifies defects, potential hazards, and overall integrity of the electrical system, ensuring that the home is safe for continued use and protected against risks such as electric shock and fire.

Key Features of a Residential EICR

1. Full Visual & Physical Assessment

A qualified engineer conducts a complete inspection of your home’s fixed electrical systems, including wiring, sockets, lighting circuits, consumer unit (fuse box), earthing, bonding, and protective devices.

2. Identification of Electrical Hazards

The EICR highlights any issues that could compromise safety, categorised as:

  • C1 – Danger present (requires immediate action)

  • C2 – Potentially dangerous (urgent action needed)

  • C3 – Improvement recommended

  • FI – Further investigation required

3. Compliance Check with BS 7671

Your property’s electrical installation is measured against current UK Wiring Regulations. Any non-compliance is noted and included in the report for corrective action.

4. Circuit Testing & Performance Verification

The engineer performs a series of tests to ensure your electrical system is performing safely, including:

  • RCD trip tests

  • Earth fault loop impedance tests

  • Insulation resistance tests

  • Polarity checks

5. Easy-to-Understand Certification Report

After inspection, you receive a complete EICR document that states:

  • The condition of each circuit

  • All identified safety issues

  • Code classifications

  • Whether the property passes or fails

  • Required remedial actions

Residential EICR – FAQs

How Often Should I Get an EICR?

Every 5–10 years for homeowners, or when buying/selling a property.

Does an EICR Check Everything?

It covers all fixed electrical systems — consumer unit, wiring, sockets, switches, circuits, earthing, bonding, and protective devices.

What Happens if My Property Fails?

C1 or C2 issues must be fixed to achieve compliance. A revised EICR is issued after remedial work.

Is an EICR a Legal Requirement?

It is mandatory for landlords but strongly recommended for homeowners for safety reasons.

Will I Receive a Certificate?

Yes — you receive a formal EICR certification stating the condition of your electrical installation.
