The importance of regular EICRs and electrical inspections in Shirley
As the name says, an Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) is a report, not a certificate. This test and resulting report will take a thorough look at the condition of your electrical installation in line with the 17th edition of wiring regulations and it will address all of the electrical aspects of the property, including the consumer unit, electrical fittings such as light fittings and sockets and fixed electrical items, such as boilers and heaters.
The inspection will:
- Specify the extent of any wear and tear
- Establish the adequacy of bonding or earthing
- Inspect the serviceability of equipment
- Show if any of the electrical circuits or equipment are overloaded
- Check for any poor electrical work
- Identify if there are any potential safety risks, such as electric shocks
EICRs are important for homeowners, landlords and businesses. If you live in your own home, whilst it is not a legal requirement, it is recommended that an EICR is completed once every ten years or sooner, depending on other factors, to ensure your safety.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, employers are responsible for their employees health and safety whilst in the workplace and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 mean that if your building or premises is used for a commercial, industrial, service or any other non-dwelling or public use then you will have a legal obligation to keep the electrical system safe at all times. Therefore, businesses should employ a qualified electrician to complete an EICR at least once every five years.
EICRs for Landlords in West Wickham
Reports from the Electrical Safety Council state that private tenants are at greater risk of injury from faulty electrical items than the wider population. Under the terms of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, landlords - or agents acting on their behalf - are responsible for their tenants’ electrical saety. An EICR will need to be done every five years or with each change of occupancy.
