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.

    No they are MK RCDs and they do not work on the instrument test or on the test button. I found one the other day, not an MK, where all was well on the instrument tests but the test button did not work.


    I have been doing a few PRS EICRs for landlords and the installations are all failing big time with many non-compliances. They have been let previously without any periodic inspection and testing. 


    I got an ear full recently when a landlord berated me with "this is just another tax on landlords". I politely that his installation was potentially dangerous and the legislation was designed to protect the public  An electric shower wired from a very old wooden framed board  (nothing wrong with 3036 fuses) missing cover from over the fuses.. No 30mA RCD protection and no supplementary bonding with the pull cord isolator switch baked up and unable to isolate. No bond to water and a very loose BS 951 clamp on the gas. No fire stopping where the supply cable passes through the flat wall in to the common area outside etc etc.
