What Is a Domestic EICR?

A Domestic EICR, also known as a Home Electrical Safety Certificate, is a formal inspection carried out by a qualified electrician to assess the condition of your property’s electrical installation.
The report evaluates:
  • Electrical wiring
  • Consumer unit (fuse board)
  • Light fittings
  • Earthing & bonding
  • Circuit safety
  • Fire risks
Your EICR will categorise findings into C1, C2, C3, or FI codes:
  • C1: Danger present – immediate action required
  • C2: Potentially dangerous – urgent improvements advised
  • C3: Improvement recommended
  • FI: Further investigation needed
The report determines whether your property is Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory.
