Our Professional EICR Testing Procedure

With EICR testing, issues that are not visible can be unveiled, such as circuit overheating or overloading, faulty electrical work, etc. Our local experts carry out and complete this procedure by following these steps:

  • Perform a visual check to analyse your property’s safety level.
  • Check the broken sockets and switches, burn marks, damaged cables, scorching, etc, to identify the reason and resolve it.
  • Assess the circuit’s RCD (Residual Current Device) to check if it functions properly.
  • Issue a certificate upon the completion of testing, which will include all the details regarding the identified damages, defects, and deteriorating signs and suggest suitable measures to resolve those problems and ensure compliance with the relevant safety standards.

What Do Different EICR Codes Indicate?

After the completion of EICR testing, a detailed report is generated, and different codes are designated based on the condition of electrical installations and the level of remedial work required. The following are those codes, along with their meanings:

  • C1 (Danger is Present) – There is a likelihood of injury for which immediate action is needed.
  • C2 (Potentially Dangerous) – Urgent requirement of remedial actions.
  • C3 (Improvement Required) – Necessary measures are required to improve the electrical system’s condition.

The EICR certificate is only issued when all the identified faults have been repaired with necessary remedial work that helps ensure the safety of electrical fittings and installations.
