How often should my house have an EICR report carried out?

The IET recommend the following maximum periods between testing; If you live in a domestic property, the recommended time for periodic inspection is every 10 years, or at the change of occupancy. If you live in a rental property or are a landlord, an EICR is recommended every 5 years and at the start of each new tenancy. If it is a commercial installation, the recommended period is 5 years between periodic inspections, or at the change of occupancy.
