EICR Testing.
Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is used to analyse a building’s or homes electrical and wiring systems to determine their condition. The first step involves completing a visual assessment to pick up on any visual clues that the systems are damaged e.g. cracked wiring, signs of burning and any breaks in the system.
The next step delves deeper and involves dead testing the wires and investigating the quality of failsafe systems alongside earthing and bonding checks. If your system is deemed to be compliant with regulations, the SCE Electrical Electrician will then issue your EICR.
