EICR (Fixed Wire Testing)

Sometimes referred to as Fixed Wire Inspection and Test, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a legal requirement for all UK workplaces, rental properties or buildings as stipulated in the Electrical work regulations 1989. 

It  recommended by British Standards BS 7671 18th Edition (Regulation 135.1) that every electrical installation is subjected to regular EICR inspections and testing.

All electrical installations must meet the electrical safety standards and wiring regulations as laid out by the IET (Institution of Engineering and Technology) which has the same status as British Standards. Private landlords and other building owners are responsible for this.
