EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report)

A formal assessment of a property's fixed electrical installation, carried out by a registered electrician, to check that wiring, accessories, and the consumer unit are safe and meet current standards. The report grades defects as C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous), or C3 (improvement recommended). Landlords in England are legally required to obtain an EICR every 5 years; homeowners are advised to do so every 10 years or when buying a property.
