EICR report helps us to recognize where the problem is, and how we can solve this problem or danger which exists.

Various parameters are mentioned in the electrical installation condition report, which is needed to be checked as per the International Electrical Code guidelines. It’s should follow the IEEE, IEC properly as per mentioned rules.

The EICR report is shown in three different categorizations which are described below: —

• C1 – C1 symbol indicates that found danger in the circuit, and needed to be taking immediately proper action.
• C2 – C2 symbol indicates that there may be potential of danger in the system, and advises us to take urgent action.
• C3 – C3 symbol indicates that there is no symbol of danger, but still recommends us to work on the improvement of the electrical system.

Electrical parts which are installed need to be regularly checked for identifying any sort of wear and tear. Wiring which is not done properly can lead us through the critical situation, like electrical short circuits.

Electrical installation condition report checking is much more worth it when you want to spend a steady and safe business. You can take it as an investment for your peaceful mindset and safe workspace.

Why Electrical Installation Condition Report Important?

While having an EICR checking is excellent, but it has to be a reason to be done, so that’s are: —

• Age of the installation,
• Environmental condition (harsh monsoon),
• Concern the householder about electrical installation,
• Property being purchased, EICR needed,
• Misuse of installation.

You know what, after such a big advantage (doing EICR), still people do not want to take responsibility. Having such an advantage EICR is no legal requirement, earlier but now regulation changed.

It has the least consuming time method and so, straightforward. These types of EICR have to be done by someone professional, who has all the certificates and degree of course needed.

The inspection always needed to be done by someone well qualified in the field of electrical inspection.

According to the changed law, all landlords need to be tested EICR in certain intervals like each time every 5 years, otherwise, they have to pay a penalty amount to the government as a punishment.

As a suggestion, you need to check your house at least once every year. Start by providing detail about the inspection, the date of the inspection, next schedule of the inspection. Description of the premise which was given by engineers is all needed to be done properly.

The installation record has also been to the point, through which everything is cleared. Explain the reason for doing that change in the system after the EICR check.

Landlords and owners can directly reduce the risk by following testing methods, which was quite a good option, then destroying their property.

An electrician from Care Labs checks:-

• Does your fuse board safe or any complaint with current regulation?
• Everything has to be correctly earthed, through which we can prevent potentially fatal electric shocks.
• The wiring which is attached with every small appliance is properly installed or not. Like: — Sockets, lights, switches, and accessories, etc…

After inspection engineers should have to provide written notes, what are the things that need to be changed with exact reason, detailing of the work? Once everything is in the written way you can give that as a safety card to your tenants (as proof).

In the mid-20s, on the 1st of July, EICR in the UK is a legal requirement, while in the US it is still a case that needs to be changed. Through this, they show us a movement by saying “electrical safety first”.

If the electrical installation condition report is unsatisfactory, then the landlords have the right to demand further investigative work in a short span of time.

Care Labs offer our services in California, New York, Illinois, Ohio, Texas, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Washington, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, New Mexico, Virginia, and all the major states and cities in the United States of America.
