What is an EICr?
In a nutshell
An in-depth formal document which is used to assess the condition of an installation in order to determine whether its fit to remain in service or not.
Many councils, organizations and governing bodies use an EICr as reference to determine the safety and insurance of a property.
An EICr is a different procedure than an EIC or PAT. EIC is issued to the customer after a new installation has been installed and satisfies all the current regulations associated to the build.
PAT is simply the testing of portable appliances to determine the safety of each item included in the test.
