FAQs
How long does an EICR take?
On average, an EICR inspection takes one to four hours. The length of the test depends on the size of the property, the accessibility of electrical systems and the number of electrical equipment, among other factors.
Additional inspection may be required, depending on the electrician’s findings from the comprehensive assessment.
How much is an EICR?
What are the potential results of an EICR
After the inspection, the electrician will issue an EICR that you keep until the next inspection date. This is not a certificate, but simply a report that details the overall condition of your installation and the remedial work required, if needed.
The EICR specifies damages, defects, deterioration and other conditions that could put everyone in the building at risk. Pictures might be added to the report to emphasise areas of concern.
The report highlights any issues found and categorizes them according to their severity and urgency using specific codes. Understanding these codes is crucial for addressing potential safety hazards in electrical installations.
EICR Codes
- Code C1 (Danger Present)
Description: Immediate danger present. This code indicates that there is a risk of injury and immediate remedial action is required.
Example: Exposed live wires, which pose a risk of electric shock.
Action Required: Urgent action to repair or make safe immediately.
- Code C2 (Potentially Dangerous)
Description: Potential danger. This code signifies that while there is no immediate risk, the issue could become dangerous if not addressed.
Example: An improperly earthed socket which may not present an immediate danger but could become hazardous.
Action Required: Remedial action needed as soon as possible to remove the potential danger.
- Code C3 (Improvement Recommended)
Description: Improvement recommended. This code indicates that while the issue does not present immediate or potential danger, improvement is advised to enhance safety.
Example: Installation of additional RCD protection where it is beneficial but not mandatory.
Action Required: Improvement recommended to bring the installation up to current standards.
- Code FI (Further Investigation Required)
Description: Further investigation required. This code is used when the inspection cannot determine whether an aspect of the installation is safe.
Example: A hidden cable whose condition cannot be verified without additional testing or access.
Action Required: Further investigation needed without delay to determine the extent of the issue.
What happens if i fail an EICR?
If your EICR report reveals issues with your electrical system, the results will be “Unsatisfactory,” meaning remedial work needs to be done. The electrician will provide a quote for the remedial work.
The electrician will indicate a code to specify the extent of the risk and the required action:
Code 1: Danger present. Occupants are at risk of injury and immediate action is needed.
Code 2: Potentially dangerous. Urgent remedial action is needed to make the electrical installation safe.
Code 3: Improvement recommended. This is the only EICR classification code that indicates your electrical system poses no danger, but improvements can be made.
FI: Further investigation is required. This means the contractor can’t determine the safety of the installation without additional information or investigation. An example of this is the lack of a main protective bonding of a Lightning Protection System (LPS), where the contractor must consult with the designer to confirm that it is safe to bond the LPS.
What do i need to do after i pass my EICR?
Your EICR is proof that you complied with electrical safety standards and have taken the reasonable steps to ensure the safety of all occupants of your property.
You are required to give copies of EICR to the following people:
- Existing tenants of the residential premises. Copies must be given to them within 28 days after testing and inspection.
- New tenants before they occupy the premises. Prospective tenants may also request for a copy of the EICR before agreeing on a sale.
- The local housing authority. A copy must be given to them within seven days after you’ve received a written request from them.
- The electrician carrying out the next EICR inspection. This will give them a background of your electrical system before starting a new inspection.
How often does the my property need to be inspected?
On average, an EICR inspection takes one to four hours. The length of the test depends on the size of the property, the accessibility of electrical systems and the number of electrical equipment, among other factors.
Additional inspection may be required, depending on the electrician’s findings from the comprehensive assessment.
