What is an EICR?

Understanding EICR Testing

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an inspection of all electrical installations in a property. UK electrical regulations including, the Electrical Work Regulations 1989 and IET (Institution of Engineering and Technology) Wiring Regulations, require that all electrical installations meet these standards. Our expert team conduct EICRs to identify any defects or hazards that could impact the safety of your property and its occupants. We will then provide you with an EICR certificate to demonstrate compliance and safety.

At PST Group, we provide EICR testing for a range of clients, including landlords and commercial and residential premises. Failing to conduct professional EICRs could lead to the decommissioning of a building and substantial fines. Contact us today for your FREE consultation and stay compliant.
