FAQs - EICR
How often should electrical installations be tested?
Keeping your home or rental property electrically safe means checking the wiring and system regularly to prevent shocks, fires, or other hazards.
- For homes you live in, the wiring gets checked every 10 years.
- For rented properties, landlords have it checked every 5 years or before a new tenant moves in.
EICR certificate how long does it take?
The time depends on how big the property is and how complex the wiring setup can be, because each circuit needs careful testing.
- The electrician usually spends 1 to 4 hours checking everything.
- The certificate is given the same day or within a few days.
Can I do a fire risk assessment myself?
Yes. Every time a new tenant moves in, the landlord must show that the property is electrically safe so the tenant can move in without risk. A valid EICR is required for each new tenancy.
How long is an EICR report valid for?
The report tells you the safety of the system at the time of inspection and gives guidance on when the next check should happen.
- In rented properties, it lasts for 5 years.
- If remedial work is done, validity may depend on the type of work.
What does an EICR check involve?
The inspection looks at every part of the electrical system to find damage, wear, or safety risks, and includes tests that measure how well the circuits are working.
- Check wires, sockets, switches, and the consumer unit.
- Look for damage, wear, or risks like exposed wires.
- Test earthing and bonding.
- Measure insulation resistance and circuit safety.
When did EICR become mandatory?
The government introduced rules that made landlords responsible for proving that their rental property is electrically safe.
- New tenancies in England required an EICR from 1 July 2020.
- Existing tenancies had to comply by 1 April 2021.
How do I get an EICR certificate?
Only a qualified electrician or registered electrical contractor can perform the inspection and issue a legally valid certificate.
- They inspect the property.
- They provide a certificate or report showing the results.
Does an EICR test every socket?
The inspection focuses on key circuits and representative sockets to make sure the system is safe overall without testing every single outlet.
- A sample of sockets and circuits is checked.
- The goal is to make sure the system is safe overall.
Is EICR and PAT testing the same?
No. EICR and PAT testing both check electrical safety, but they look at completely different parts of the property’s system.
- EICR checks fixed wiring and the overall electrical system.
- PAT testing checks plugged-in devices and appliances.
When do I need an EICR?
An EICR is needed any time there is a reason to confirm the electrical system is safe, such as a new tenancy, old wiring, or after any major electrical work.
- Before a new tenant moves in.
- Every 5 years for rented properties.
- After electrical faults, safety concerns, or major work.
How often should an EICR be carried out?
Regular testing keeps properties safe and ensures compliance with the law, which helps prevent accidents or legal issues.
- Rented properties: every 5 years.
- Owner-occupied properties: every 10 years.
Is EICR a legal requirement for landlords?
Yes. Landlords have a legal duty to ensure that their rental properties are safe from electrical hazards, and EICR provides official proof of compliance. In England and Wales, a valid EICR is required for rented properties.
