EICR & Electrical Testing

Latest update on EICR for Plymouth Devon and Cornwall

As of 1st July 2020, all landlords in England must have a vaild, in-date EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) for every new tenancy. This will ensure compliance with The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.

Landlords must ensure that fixed electrical installations are inspected and tested at least every five years by a qualified person. A report must be obtained and supplied to each tenant within 28 days of their move in date. This moves EICRs into the same territory as gas safety certificates and EPCs as a legal requirement.

Electrical Installation Condition Report should be completed:

Wiring deteriorates over time and an Electrical Installation Condition Report will identify any faults so they can be rectified, ensuring no harm can come to colleagues, customers or the general public, making sure you stay within the law and the terms of your insurance policy.

An EICR Fixed Wire test actually tests the fixed wiring throughout the installation. Just having a PAT test won’t make your property legally safe.

EICR and PAT Testing

What is an Electrical Certificate? An electrical inspection examines the state of the electrical wiring throughout your property, and checks if an installation meets safety standards. Once the inspection is completed, you are issued with an electrical certificate or Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). This outlines whether your installation is satisfactory, or whether any issues have been found.

Do landlords need Electrical Certificates? To protect your tenants, and yourself as a landlord, an electrical inspection and certificate is highly recommended every three to five years. It is important to prove that you have taken reasonable steps to ensure that your tenants are safe, and not at any risk from electrical faults.
