What Is an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report)

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an inspection of the condition of an existing electrical installation. This will identify any deficiencies to the fixed wiring against the national safety standard for electrical installations. Up until 2011 this was called a Periodic inspection report but can also be called Electrical testing, Fixed wire testing and EICR. An EICR test should be carried out by a suitably qualified electrical contractor who has a good working knowledge and experience of electrical installations. The results should be reported on a form that complies with the current wiring regulations, BS7671:2008+A3:2015.

Project Skills Solutions are NICEIC approved contractors. 

So our EICR will be an NICEIC Electrical Installation Condition Report which is completed as the test and inspection take place. An EICR report is very detailed. The range of tests carried out on each circuit ensures that the safety measures that have been put in place will operate correctly in fault conditions.

EICR test includes determining

• The earth fault path is effective enough to result in automatic disconnection of the supply in the event of a fault
• All of the wiring is in good condition
• That the residual current device (RCD) operates quickly enough to avoid any danger to the users of the installation.

So you are required to have your premises tested the table below shows you the frequency for all types of buildings.
The EICR cost is worked out by the number of electrical circuits that you have in the building. This is the norm as it has been found to be the quickest way to price the testing. So how do you fin out how many circuits the building has there are several ways:-

• Count them on the existing EICR or send a copy through to us and we will calculate the circuit numbers.
• You can also count the number of breakers in each distribution board in the building or take a photo and gain e-mail and we will calculate the EICR cost.

Using the EICR cost calculator, you can get an accurate estimation of what the cost will be to carry an EICR out at your property or business, but you may want to discuss details of the project. You might have a hard to reach fuse board or restricted access at certain times, all of which we would have to know prior to the project beginning. If you want to talk to a team member regrading your EICR or any electrical testing, you can call us on 0800 0213 264 or use the live chat on our website.
