EICR Report Template

What is it?

An EICR records the condition of the fixed electrical installation at the time of inspection. A blank PDF is the empty form. An issued report is the signed record of that inspection.

About this template

Print this blank Electrical Installation Condition Report and fill it in. For an in-scope rented home in England, the installation is inspected and tested at least every 5 years. The next date is the one the inspector writes.

When to use

• When inspecting the fixed installation in an in-scope rented home in England. The legal maximum interval is 5 years, and the report can set an earlier date.
• When the inspector is choosing the next inspection date. IET Guidance Note 3 gives recommended initial intervals. Later dates are that inspector's judgment.
• When a buyer, seller, insurer or lender has asked for a condition report. That request is separate from the rented-homes duty.
• After alterations, when a condition report is the record chosen for that work. New work is often an Electrical Installation Certificate or a minor works certificate.

Tips

1. 1C1 or C2 means the report states the installation is unsatisfactory and remedial work is required. C3 recommends an improvement and does not require that work. FI means further investigation without delay.
2. 2Photograph the observations you rely on, particularly C1 and C2.
3. 3Write the next inspection date the inspector recommends. One stock interval does not fit every domestic property, and another does not fit every commercial premises.
4. 4If a part could not be inspected or tested, record the limitation. Use FI when further investigation is required without delay.
5. 5Describe each observation so the person who must act on it can see what was found.
