What Does an EICR Involve?
An EICR is a full assessment of your electrical installation, including:
- Condition of consumer unit (fuse board)
- Socket outlets, switches, lighting points
- RCD protection and earth bonding
- Circuit insulation resistance and continuity tests
- Visual signs of damage, overloading or overheating
- Identification of deviations from BS 7671 (18th Edition)
Faulty or DIY Wiring
- Risk: Loose connections, reversed polarity, fires
- Where Found: Often in extensions, garages, or kitchens
- Why It Matters: Non-qualified work can leave dangerous surprises hidden in the walls.
No Earth Bonding to Gas & Water Pipes
- Risk: Risk of electric shock through exposed metalwork
- Why It Matters: Main protective bonding is a legal requirement — and often missing in older homes.
Signs of Deterioration
- Cracked sockets, scorch marks, melting plastic
- Damaged cables, exposed wires
- Corrosion in metal enclosures or damp damage
- Loose backboxes or hanging pendants
Incorrect Circuit Labelling or No Circuit Schedule
- Risk: Confusion in emergencies or during maintenance
- Why It Matters: BS 7671 requires circuits to be clearly marked and recorded.
Common Issues Found During an EICR
Electrical faults don’t always show visible signs — but behind the walls, they could pose serious fire risks, shock hazards, or legal non-compliance. At Boraq Electrical Solutions, we uncover hidden dangers before they become costly problems.
Here are some of the most frequent issues we find during our EICRs:
- Missing or Inadequate RCD Protection
- Risk: Increased chance of electric shock or fire
- Why It Matters: RCDs (Residual Current Devices) protect lives by cutting off the power during a fault. They’re legally required on most circuits in modern installations.
Outdated Consumer Units (Fuse Boxes)
- Risk: No fault protection, no RCDs, fire hazard
- Common Types Found: BS3036 rewireable fuses or plastic consumer units
- Why It Matters: These units fail to meet current safety standards and can’t handle today’s electrical loads safely.
Overloaded Circuits
- Risk: Overheating, burning smells, fire
- Example: Too many sockets or appliances connected to one ring main
- Why It Matters: Modern usage (EV chargers, microwaves, tumble dryers) stresses older wiring not designed for high demand.
—
Poor Insulation Resistance
- Risk: Potential for short circuits and shock
- Why It Matters: Insulation wears down with age or damp, especially in properties over 20 years old. We test all cables to ensure safe readings.
