What does EICR stand for?

It is the written report of an inspection and test of a fixed electrical installation.

The report answers what condition that installation was found in, within the extent that was agreed.

People often say certificate. The document name used here is Electrical Installation Condition Report.

The inspection and the testing are the work carried out on site.

The EICR is the report of that work. It is not a second, separate kind of test.

At a high level, the report identifies the installation, the extent inspected, and the observations made.

The name alone does not give you a price, a code, a remedial decision, or a check of plug-in appliances.

Use the testing page once you know the building. Use another page only when the question is the price, a rented home, plug-in appliances, a code, or remedial work.

  Continue to EICR testing once the building is known.
