It must be carried out by an experienced qualified electrician or approved engineer.

Various tests are performed to assess the electrical system's integrity, including continuity tests, polarity checks, and insulation resistance tests.
- Classification of Observations:
The electrician classifies any observations made during the inspection as either 'C1' (dangerous), 'C2' (potentially dangerous), 'C3' (improvement recommended), or 'FI' (further investigation required). - Report Generation:
A detailed report is generated, summarising the findings, including any necessary remedial work and a recommended retest date.
- Certificate Issuance:
If the installation is deemed safe and compliant, an EICR Report is issued. If issues are identified, an unsatisfactory report will be issued. unless the the necessary repairs and improvements have been made.

Keep Your Property Safe with an EICR Inspection in London
|
The 18th edition of the UK Wiring Regulations came into effect in 2019, so if a landlord already has an EICR report for a property that was carried out after this date and has complied with all the other requirements of the Regulations, they won’t have to have another inspection for 5 years, provided the report does not state that the next inspection should take place sooner.
Existing installations that have been installed in accordance with earlier editions of the Wiring Regulations may not comply with the 18th edition in every respect. This does not necessarily mean that they are unsafe for continued use or require upgrading.
