What is an EICR?

An EICR, short for electrical installation condition report, is also known as a landlord's safety check - and is exactly that. An inspection of all fixed electrical installations at the property to make sure electrical systems are safe for occupants.

In a rental property an EICR must be conducted every 5 years to demonstrate compliance and that safety standards are being met.
