What is a Electrical installation condition report (EICR)?

A Electrical installation condition report (EICR) is a formal method of recording the findings of the periodic inspection in Residential, Commercial & Industrial installations.

The main purpose of a EICR is to report on the safety condition of an existing installation. It should describe the overall condition as either 'satisfactory', in which case no immediate remedial work is required, or 'unsatisfactory' which means remedial work is required to make the installation safe to use or safe for continued use.

Where a EICR describes the installation as 'unsatisfactory', the next thing to look at is 'Observations and Recommendations for Actions to be Taken'. This is where any departures from BS 7671 are recorded, and a code to indicate the urgency of the action needed is given.  These codes are ranged from 1- 4 with 1 being the most serious working down to requires further investigation or non compliance.
