EICR and electrical testing for Paisley buildings
Scotland has its own fire safety law, its own building standards and its own interlinked alarm standard for every home. Tenement closes, high-rise housing and listed buildings all need an approach built around Scottish requirements.
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 Paisley
Private landlords in Scotland must have an Electrical Installation Condition Report at least every five years and PAT testing of any appliances they supply, under the Repairing Standard.
