EICR and electrical testing for Newry buildings
Northern Ireland has its own fire safety order, its own HMO licensing law and its own building regulations, so compliance work here follows Northern Ireland legislation rather than the rules in Great Britain.
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 Newry
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.
