FAQ

Electrical Safety, explained.

More in the full FAQ.

Is an EICR a legal requirement?

Yes, across England, Wales and Scotland. In England the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020 applied to new tenancies from 1 July 2020 and to all existing tenancies from 1 April 2021. Scotland has required five-yearly checks since December 2015, and Wales since December 2022 under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016.

How often do I need one?

At least every five years, or sooner if the report itself specifies a shorter interval or the property changes hands between tenancies. You must give tenants a copy within 28 days of the inspection.

What do the C1, C2 and C3 codes mean?

C1 means danger is present and there is a risk of injury — immediate action required. C2 means potentially dangerous. C3 means improvement recommended but not required. FI means further investigation is needed. A report is unsatisfactory if it contains any C1, C2 or FI, and you then have 28 days to complete the remedial work.
