What is the purpose of an EICR?
(Electrical Installation Condition Report)
All electrical installations deteriorate with age and use
and should therefore be inspected and tested at regular
intervals to check whether they are in a satisfactory
condition. These safety checks are commonly referred to
as ‘Periodic Inspection and Testing’.
How often is a periodic inspection required?
Your electrics should be inspected and tested every:
10 years for an owner-occupied home.
5 years for a rented home.
3 years for a caravan
1 year for a swimming pool.
