Electricity can be dangerous
Like everything in life, electrics deteriorate with age and electricity can be dangerous. It is vital people are not put at risk, so the person responsible for the maintenance of an installation is responsible to ensure it is safe and remains safe. An EICR will reveal if any of your electrical circuits or equipment are overloaded or defective and therefore unsafe to use. It will also uncover any lack of earthing or bonding conductors and reveal any potential electric shock risks or fire hazards.

The report will report any deviations from current standards and will show the timescale of urgency on which any repairs need to take place. These tests include a visual inspection, live wire testing and dead wire testing to check the safety and integrity of the wiring.
