WHAT IS AN EICR ?

EICR stands for Electrical Installation Condition Report, and it is sometimes also called the Landlord Safety Test or the Homebuyer’s Test.

EICRs Are a Legal Requirement in Scotland for all homes.
However, they have been a legal requirement for landlords in Scotland for longer. Mandatory testing came into force in the Housing (Scotland) Act 2014. As part of the requirements, Scottish landlords must arrange two tests: The Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). From 2023, all existing short-term let owners in Scotland will have to have EICRs carried out every five years, alongside PAT testing. The recommended frequency varies for commercial buildings.

If you are a private homeowner, it is advisable to get an EICR done every five years or particularly if you are adding or changing anything electrical for example an EV charger.
