During an EICR, the consumer unit (or Distribution Board), wiring and electrical accessories are thoroughly tested and inspected for faults or deviations from the Wiring Standards. Throughout the test, the following will be inspected and tested:

• The adequacy of the earthing and bonding.
• Devices for protection against fire and electric shock.
• Any damage or wear and tear that might affect the safety of the property’s inhabitants.
• Identification of any damaged electrical fittings and accessories.
• Identification of any exposed live wires that could cause a fire or injury.

The average estimated time to undertake an EICR is approximately 4 hours depending on the size of your property and the number of circuits. We typically schedule EICR,s for 08:00 or 12:30 time slots.
