What Is an EICR and Why It Matters for Central London Properties

An Electrical Installation Condition Report assesses the safety of the fixed wiring in a property.

Fixed Wiring Assessment – What Is Included

An EICR examines:

• Consumer units (fuse boards)
• Circuit breakers and RCD protection
• Fixed wiring circuits
• Earthing and bonding
• Sockets and lighting circuits

What Is Not Included – PAT Testing

Portable appliances are not covered in an EICR. These require separate PAT testing.

Preventing Fire and Electric Shock Hazards

Electrical faults are a leading cause of domestic fires. Regular inspection reduces the risk of:

• Loose connections
• Inadequate fault protection
