Electrical installations can deteriorate over time, and not every electrical problem is immediately visible.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report, commonly known as an EICR, is used to assess
the condition of an existing electrical installation and identify issues that may require attention.
Robinson Jennings provides EICRs and electrical inspection and testing for domestic, residential, commercial
and industrial properties across Yorkshire and beyond.
What Does EICR Mean?
EICR stands for Electrical Installation Condition Report.
During an EICR, an appropriately qualified electrical professional inspects and tests the electrical installation
to assess its condition at the time of inspection.
The resulting report records observations and identifies defects, deterioration or other issues discovered
during the inspection.
What Does an EICR Check?
An EICR looks at the condition of the fixed electrical installation within a property.
The inspection and testing can help identify problems such as deterioration, damage and defects within the
installation that may require further investigation or remedial electrical work.
The precise scope will depend on the property and electrical installation being inspected.
Who Might Need an EICR?
EICRs are used across many different types of property.
Robinson Jennings provides electrical inspection and testing for homes and residential properties,
landlords, offices, shops, factories, warehouses and other commercial and industrial premises.
How Frequently Should an Electrical Installation Be Inspected?
How frequently an installation should be inspected depends on factors including the type and use of the property,
the condition of the installation and any applicable regulatory or safety requirements.
What Happens If Problems Are Found?
If observations are identified during the inspection, they will be recorded within the EICR.
Where further electrical work is required, Robinson Jennings can discuss the findings and undertake appropriate
repairs or remedial electrical work.
This means the same electrical contractor can provide the inspection, explain the findings and complete necessary
electrical work.
