What Is Inspected In An ECR?
During an EICR, the consumer unit (or Fuseboard), 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 properties inhabitants.
Identification of any damaged electrical fittings and accessories.
Identification of any exposed live wires that could cause a fire or injury.

Who Can Carry out an EICR?
An EICR should only be carried out by a skilled and competent Electrician with the experience to know what they are
looking for. Believe it or not, all electricians are not the same! EICRs require a high level of skill and these skills are only gained after considerable additional training and years of experience.

Is the EICR a Legal Requirement In Watford?
