​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.
