Residential EICR
For domestic properties, it's generally recommended to have an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) conducted every 10 years.
However, if the property is rented out, landlords are
required to have the electrical installations inspected and
tested at least every 5 years.
Regular inspections help ensure the safety and reliability of the
electrical system in your home.
