UK legislation regarding the safe operation of electrical equipment is constantly evolving as is legislation relating to the safe protection of people in the work and home environment from any potential danger of electricity discharge.

​Landlords, business and home owners are all obligated to comply with the regulations and stay within the law.

Letting Agents and Landlords must specifically comply with The Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 and ensure that any fixed electrical installation is safe at the start of any tenancy and is adequately maintained in a safe condition throughout the tenancy. This also includes the obligation to ensure that any portable electrical equipment is inspected and deemed safe by a skilled person.

All UK Businesses need to comply with:

• The Health and Safety Act 1974
• The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
• The IEE Wiring Regulations 17th Edition
• The Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 for Landlords and Lettings Agents.

These regulations stipulate that every business has a legal obligation to carry out regular periodic inspections of their electrical installations.

The new Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) replaces the previous Periodic Inspection Report (PIR). Any infraction can lead to penalties and/or prosecution.​

What is a periodic inspection?

A periodic inspection is the inspection of an existing electrical installation to identify any deficiencies against UK legislation for electrical installations.

• Code C1 - Danger present. Risk of injury. Immediate remedial action required.
• Code C2 - Potentially dangerous. Urgent remedial action required.
• Code C3 - Improvement recommended.
• Code F1 - Further Investigation needed.
