EICR

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
My friend is going to rent his property out. They had an EICR carrisd out less than 2 years ago with a retest date of 10 years. Since this no additions or alterations have been made to the installation. 

Question is do they need to carry out another EICR and is it classed as a change of tenant? I'm not sure as its a change from owner to tenant and not a change of one tenant to another tenant. Suggestions would be welcomed.

    How often do any of us look at installations done within the last few years and not find any concerns purely incidental at the time we are intending to add/ammend/ alter in some way?

    I must be getting old, some of the "old chestnuts" that used to shock me do not even surprise me anymore.

    In fact the only time I am surprised is when an existing installation looks OK. Even then if I need to delve further concerns often pop up.


    Anyway, I digress, back to the plot.


    My understanding is the legislation makes 18th Edition the only time that BS7671 becomes a statutory requirement .

    I don`t see any mention about change of tennant specifically but yes most of us might err towards puttong that on an EICR for good reasons and will often decide on an interval of less than 5 years in some cases.
