​What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed inspection of a building’s fixed electrical systems and wiring, conducted by a qualified electrician. It ensures that installations are:
-
Safe
-
Functional
​

Compliant with UK regulations
This inspection does not include portable appliances but covers internal wiring, sockets, light fittings, distribution boards, and other fixed components.
​
Who Needs an EICR?
Since April 2021, all residential landlords in England must complete an EICR every 5 years. While not explicitly required by the same legislation, commercial landlords are also expected to follow this standard to comply with broader health and safety laws and duty-of-care requirements.
For businesses operating in rented commercial premises, the landlord is typically responsible for arranging the inspection—but tenants benefit by knowing the electrical system is safe and efficient.
