EICR

An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) will provide a full summary of the condition of the electrics in your home via inspection & testing and determine whether it complies with the current British Standard for electrical safety (BS 7671).

It will record a number of observations in line with BS 7671 and make various recommendations where improvement may be necessary or beneficial to improving safety in your home.

Once the EICR is completed then we will provide you with a certificate outlining the overall condition of the electrical installation.

Generally, an EICR will provide coding’s against the condition of the installation. The classification codes are as follows:

Code C1 – This code should indicate that danger exists, requiring immediate remedial action. The persons using the installation are at immediate risk.

Code C2 – This code indicates that, whilst an observed deficiency is not considered to be dangerous at the time of the inspection, it could become a real and immediate danger if a fault or other foreseeable event was to occur in the installation or connected equipment.

Code C3 – This code indicates that, whilst an observed deficiency is not considered to be a source of immediate or potential danger, improvement would contribute to a significant enhancement of the safety of the electrical installation.
