EICR London: What Should You Know?

Almost everyone in the UK has heard the term EICR Certificate. However, not everyone knows what it means or what it is all about. We will help you explore what an EICR London is and what it is all about.

Electrical Installation Condition Report also known as EICR Certificate is a document that is drafted after electrical safety checks are conducted on a property. The EICR certificate is done to identify electrical problems and rectify them before it gets out of hand.

What is an EICR Certificate?

EICR Certificate is a routine check carried out on properties to ensure that the condition of electrical appliances on a property does not pose danger to human life.

Electrical installations can get faulty over time thus they should be inspected occasionally to prevent electrical accidents. If faulty installations are not checked regularly, they can pose a serious danger to occupants of a property.

Is EICR Certificate Compulsory for Property Owners in the UK?

Electrical Safety Standards in the UK require property owners to have an EICR certificate for their properties.

Landlords are required by law to have electrical appliances on the property inspected or risk facing penal measures. Inspection of the property is to be conducted by a professional electrician or engineer.

After the inspection is complete the EICR Certificate is then issued. If the inspection is not done by qualified personnel, the EICR London can be declared invalid and the safety check will need to be done again untill it complies with electrical safety standards.

What is Inspected During the Electrical Safety Check?

All electrical appliances, as well as electrical fittings in the house, will be inspected by tyhe electrician you chose to conduct the inspection.

Some of the appliances that will be inspected for EICR London are as follows:

All electrical wiring.
Sockets.
Fuse boxes.
Light Bulbs.
Permanent connections like Extractor Fans and Air Conditioners.

After the inspection is done you can rest confident that your property is totally safe for you and your tenants!

Are Regularly Used Appliances Part of the Inspection for EICR London?

Regularly used appliances like fridges, freezers, and gas cookers are not inspected for an EICR Certificate.

Rather, Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is carried out on regularly used appliances and not EICR Certificate. Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is not a legal requirement for property owners.

Nonetheless, landlords are advised to conduct Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) on their properties to ensure increased safety of the occupants.

What does an EICR London Entail?

An ECIR certification is carried out every five years according to Electrical Safety Standards in the UK.

An EICR London is carried out for the following reasons:

To avoid probable fire hazards.
To identify possible shock threats.
To avoid installation of faulty appliances.

EICR London for private properties and commercial properties are quite different. Private residential inspection starts with a chit-chat between the electrician and the house owner on the areas to be covered during the inspection. The discussion includes how many circuits are in the house as well as the areas to be inspected.

Inspection on a commercial property is not usually as straightforward as that of private properties because the property owner would have to inform the occupants of the property about the EICR Certificate so that they can get ready for the arrival of the electrician.

Landlords are to inform occupants of the property about the EICR London at least 2 days before it is carried out so that they can prepare for the arrival of the electrician.

What an Electrical Inspection Condition Report Looks Like?

After the inspection process is complete, the EICR Certificate will then be issued by the electrician. If the report of the inspection shows that the property is not electrically safe the landlord would be required to implement the correctional measures recommended in the report.

The Electrical Inspection Condition Report/ EICR London also shows observations made by the Electrician during the assessment of the appliances and these observations are usually written in codes.

Codes explained here:

Code 1 (C1): Means that there's a risk of injury. The danger is present and timely corrective action is required.

Code 2 (C2): Means that the appliance(s) are potentially dangerous. Urgent corrective action is required.

Code F1 (F1): Means that further investigation is required.

Code C3 (C3): Means appliances require improvements. This implies that some appliances didn't correspond to the regulations of Electrical Safety Standards.

When the electrical appliances are fixed and correctional measures are taken, an Electrical Installation Certificate is given to the Landlord alongside the Electrical Inspection Report Certification. This serves as proof that electrical Inspection was done on the property.

If there is an electrical fault in the future, your insurance company will request to see an Electrical Installation Certificate and Electrical Inspection Report Certification/ EICR London before paying an insurance premium. This is why you should take your EICR Certificate very seriously.

Why is Electrical Installation Condition Report/ EICR London Important?

EICR Certificate is very important for property owners as well as tenants. It gives potential buyers and tenants detailed knowledge about the energy efficiency of a building allowing them to make a more informed decision before buying or renting the property.

EICR London also provides landlords and property owners with recommended suggestions on how they can improve the electrical installations on their properties. This helps property owners avoid the penal measures put in place by the law for EICR London violations.
