⚡What is an EICR?

An EICR is a detailed assessment of your fixed electrical installation, ensuring your wiring, consumer unit, earthing, and protective devices meet the latest safety regulations (BS 7671). The report will record observations as:

C1: Danger present, immediate action required
C2: Potentially dangerous, urgent remedial action needed
C3: Improvement recommended
FI: Further investigation required

You’ll receive a clear outcome: Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory.
