EICR and electrical testing for Birmingham buildings
Birmingham has one of the largest council housing estates in Europe and a city centre full of new residential towers, so we see the full range: fire door programmes, communal alarm upgrades and higher-risk building safety cases.
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 Birmingham
Private landlords in England must have the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every five years under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, and give tenants a copy of the report.
