About Our Electrical Inspection Condition Reports (EICR) Service in Hockwold cum Wilton
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a report on the condition of an existing installation. It is not a certificate and there is no pass mark. We agree the extent and any limitations with you before we start, then inspect the intake position, the earthing arrangement and the consumer unit (fuse box), plus a sample of accessories.
Then it gets tested. The dead tests need the power off: continuity of protective conductors, ring final circuit continuity, insulation resistance and polarity. Live testing covers earth fault loop impedance and RCD trip times.
Everything we find is written down and coded against the edition of BS 7671 current on the day of the inspection:
- C1 danger present, immediate remedial action required. You are told at the time we find it, not when the report lands.
- C2 potentially dangerous, urgent remedial action required.
- C3 improvement recommended.
- FI further investigation advised.
One C1 or C2 makes the overall outcome unsatisfactory. C3s on their own do not.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can an EICR fail?
There is no pass or fail. The overall outcome is either satisfactory or unsatisfactory. Only a C1 or a C2 observation makes it unsatisfactory. A report with nothing but C3 improvement items on it is a satisfactory report, and a lot of people are told otherwise.
Does the power have to be switched off?
Yes, for part of it. Continuity, insulation resistance and polarity are dead tests, so the circuit under test is isolated. Loop impedance and RCD trip testing are done live afterwards. Anyone offering an EICR without turning the power off is not doing the full test.
My property is old. Will it be marked unsatisfactory?
Age on its own is not a defect. Observations are coded against the current edition of BS 7671, so an installation wired to an earlier edition can pick up C3s without anything being wrong with it. BS 7671 says plainly that an installation complying with an earlier edition does not necessarily need upgrading and is not necessarily unsafe.
How often should an EICR be done?
Rented homes in England are the one hard legal case: at least every five years. Everywhere else the inspector sets the next date based on the type of installation, its age, how it is used and the environment it sits in. That date is conditional on the C1s being fixed immediately and the C2s urgently.
