British standard – Bs 7671

Why BS 7671 Matters for Your EICR?

BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations) sets the national safety standard for electrical installations in the UK. During your EICR, our NICEIC‑approved engineers inspect every circuit and assess whether the installation meets the safety requirements of BS 7671. This ensures your electrical system is safe for continued use and supports your legal obligations as a landlord or duty holder.

Key Legal Requirements for Landlords Under the 2020 Regulations

Under the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, landlords must meet strict electrical safety requirements. Here’s what the law expects from you:

🏠 What Is an EICR?

An EICR is a detailed assessment of your wiring, circuits, and consumer unit to confirm electrical safety. It identifies defects, fire hazards, wear and tear, and any breaches of BS 7671 compliance requirements.

📅 How often do I need one?

• Landlords/HMOs: Every 5 years or change of tenancy.
• Businesses: As per Electricity at Work Regulations.

⚠️ What if my EICR fails?

If your EICR receives C2 or FI codes, it is classed as “Unsatisfactory.” We’ll explain the issues clearly, provide a transparent quote for remedial work, and once the faults are corrected, we issue your new “Satisfactory” certificate without delay.

🔍 How can I check if my EICR is authentic?

Every EICR issued by us includes the official NICEIC Approved Contractors logo and our unique registration number. You can verify our registration directly with NICEIC via their website or helpline, confirming that your certificate is genuine and issued by fully qualified, audited engineers.

🔥Why is my gas meter checked during an EICR?

During an EICR, we check the bonding on your gas and water pipes because it’s a legal safety requirement under BS 7671 (Chapter 41 – Protection Against Electric Shock). If bonding is missing or incorrect, the installation cannot pass, as it increases the risk of electric shock and fire.

⏱️ How long does it take?

Most inspections take 1–3 hours. We will need to turn the power off briefly, but we keep disruption to a minimum.

🧾What do C1, C2, C3 and FI mean on an EICR?

These codes show whether your property meets safety and legal standards:

• C1: Immediate danger — must be made safe now.
• C2: Potential danger — property cannot pass until fixed.
• C3: Safe but improvement recommended — still passes.
• FI: Needs further investigation — cannot pass until checked.

👨‍🔧 Are you qualified?

Yes. All inspections are carried out by NICEIC-approved, fully qualified electricians with domestic and commercial Testing.
