Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding the Validity Period of an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICRs)

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a crucial document for ensuring the safety and integrity of an electrical installation in a property. But how long does this important document last?

Once issued, an EICR is valid for a period of up to 5 years in a domestic rented property.

This timeframe can be downgraded if there is reason to believe the installation could deteriorate during this time. However, it's important to note that this does not guarantee the safety and functionality of the electrical installation indefinitely.

After 5 years, there could be potential for new electrical issues to develop that aren't covered under the old report. Therefore, once the 5-year period expires, your EICR is considered outdated, and a new inspection is recommended to ensure ongoing safety and compliance. This regular reassessment helps in identifying any new faults or electrical risks that might have arisen. A new EICR report may be need at the end of a tenancy this could be a visual inspection to ensure no damage has occurred to the electrical installation during the tenancy .
