EICR and electrical testing for Belfast buildings
Belfast's growing city-centre apartment market, student accommodation and Victorian terraces mean landlords and managing agents here work under Northern Ireland's own fire safety and tenancy rules.
An EICR is a detailed inspection and test of your fixed electrical installation. It identifies anything dangerous, potentially dangerous, or in need of improvement, and gives the installation an overall satisfactory or unsatisfactory result.
Private landlords in England, Wales and Scotland must have the electrical installation in rented homes inspected and tested at least every five years. Commercial premises are usually tested at intervals set by the person responsible, commonly every five years for offices and shops and more often for higher-risk sites.
The rules that apply in Belfast
Landlords of private tenancies in Northern Ireland must have the electrical installation inspected at least every five years under the Private Tenancies (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 as amended.
