An EICR tests every circuit in the property and grades any defects. Landlords must hold a satisfactory report renewed at least every five years; buyers and homeowners use them to know exactly what they're living with.

For rentals: at least a month before the current report expires, so any remedial work fits inside the deadline. Power is off circuit-by-circuit during testing, so book a time the property can cope with that.
Common questions
What if my EICR is unsatisfactory?
C1 and C2 defects must be fixed (for rentals, within 28 days or sooner if the report says so), then a confirmation of remedial work makes the report satisfactory. C3 items are recommendations, not requirements.
