Muster for Electricians →What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) — formerly known as a Periodic Inspection Report (PIR) — is a formal document produced after the inspection and testing of a fixed electrical installation. It identifies any defects, damage, deterioration, or non-compliance with BS 7671 (the IET Wiring Regulations).
Since 1 April 2021, landlords in England must have a valid EICR for all rented properties, carried out at least every 5 years. Scotland has had similar requirements since December 2015. The report must be carried out by a qualified person — typically registered with NICEIC, NAPIT, or another Part P scheme provider.

Frequently asked questions
Is this template legally valid?▾
This template follows the BS 7671 format. However, official EICRs must be issued through your certification body (NICEIC, NAPIT, etc.) for Part P notification. This template is useful for drafting, record-keeping, and understanding the format. For fully compliant digital certificates with scheme notification, use certified software like Muster.
How often should an EICR be done?▾
Domestic: every 5 years or at change of occupancy (mandatory for landlords in England since April 2021). Commercial: every 3-5 years depending on use. Industrial: annually for some environments.
What's the difference between an EICR and an EIC?▾
An EIC (Electrical Installation Certificate) is issued for new installations or major alterations. An EICR is for inspecting and testing existing installations to check their condition. Both follow BS 7671 but serve different purposes.
Can an EICR be unsatisfactory?▾
Yes. If the inspector finds C1 (danger present) or C2 (potentially dangerous) observations, the overall condition must be marked as 'Unsatisfactory'. C3 (improvement recommended) alone does not make the report unsatisfactory.
