What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection and test of the fixed wiring in a property, carried out to BS 7671. We inspect the consumer unit, wiring, sockets, switches, lights and earthing and bonding, then test each circuit to check it will disconnect safely under fault conditions and that the insulation is sound.
The result is a report that says whether the installation is Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory for continued use, with every issue listed and coded.
