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.

    If that is the real failure rate of RCDs John, say 4% per year, they are not fit for purpose and EICRs are not the answer are they?  Do the faulty ones test OK afterwards with the test button? If yes then there is work to do. Essential safety devices failing at 4% per year, that is monstrous.


    0.6 to 0.8 per year over 140 devices = 0.4% - 0.6%
