This checker provides general guidance only. A certified electrician must inspect the installation or review the EICR report before confirmed advice, pricing or certification can be issued.
If your EICR report shows C1, C2, C3 or FI observations, the code tells you how serious the issue is and what usually needs to happen next. This section gives a simple breakdown before you request remedial work or book a new inspection.
A C1 code means there is an immediate safety risk that should be made safe urgently.
A C2 code means the installation may become dangerous and remedial work is normally required.
A C3 code recommends improvement, but it does not usually make the EICR fail by itself.
An FI code means the electrician needs more investigation before the condition can be confirmed.
Send us your failed EICR report and a clear fuse board photo. We can check the observations, explain what they mean and provide a practical remedial route where required.

Clear answers for landlords, homeowners, letting agents and businesses using the EICR Compliance Checker to understand electrical safety certificates, failed reports, costs and next steps.
The EICR Compliance Checker is a free online tool that helps you understand whether your London property may need an EICR certificate, what a failed EICR report means, which fault codes may require action and what your likely next step should be. It is designed for landlords, homeowners, letting agents and commercial property owners.
The checker gives practical guidance based on your property type, certificate status and reason for checking. Rental properties, HMOs and many commercial premises usually need clear electrical safety records. For confirmed advice, a qualified electrician should inspect the installation or review your existing report. You can also read our EICR certificates for landlords in London page for landlord-specific guidance.
A failed EICR usually means the report contains C1, C2 or FI observations. These codes can make the report unsatisfactory and may require remedial work before a satisfactory certificate can be issued. If your report has failed, visit our failed EICR remedial work page or send us the report for review.
C1 means danger is present and usually needs urgent action. C2 means potentially dangerous and normally causes an unsatisfactory report. C3 means improvement is recommended, but it does not usually fail the report by itself. FI means further investigation is required before the condition can be confirmed.
Yes. The checker can give an estimated EICR inspection cost range based on property size, property type and urgency. The final price can depend on access, number of consumer units, commercial installation size, parking, congestion zone and whether additional investigation is needed. For more detailed pricing, see our EICR certificate cost page.
Yes. If you select common failed EICR issues such as no RCD protection, bonding problems, consumer unit issues, damaged accessories, high Ze readings or bathroom electrical faults, the checker can show a rough remedial cost range. A fixed quote normally requires the failed EICR report and clear photos of the fuse board or affected areas.
For most rented properties, an EICR is commonly required at least every five years, unless the report recommends a shorter interval. Landlords should keep a valid report and deal with unsatisfactory observations promptly. If you are unsure whether your current certificate is still valid, use the checker or book an inspection through our online booking page.
Commercial properties usually need suitable electrical inspection and testing records as part of electrical safety management. The inspection frequency and scope can depend on the premises, installation type, business use and risk level. For offices, shops, restaurants, clinics, warehouses and similar premises, see our commercial EICR certificates in London service page.
Where the required remedial work has been completed correctly and the installation meets the required safety standard, a satisfactory EICR may be issued or the existing report may be supported with appropriate remedial evidence, depending on the situation. The correct route depends on the original report, the fault codes and the work required.
No. The checker provides guidance only. It helps you understand likely requirements, fault codes and next steps, but it cannot replace a physical inspection, electrical testing or a qualified electrician reviewing the full report. For confirmed advice, book an EICR inspection or send us your failed report for review.
Check the date on your existing EICR report, the recommended next inspection date and whether the report was satisfactory or unsatisfactory. If you cannot find the report, the date is unclear or the property is rented, the safest route is to arrange a new inspection or ask us to review the documents you have.
After using the checker, you can book online, WhatsApp us or send the property details by email. We usually need the property address, certificate name, access contact, property type, preferred appointment slot and any notes about parking, keys or tenant access. Start here: book an EICR online.
