Getting an electrical safety inspection is similar to getting an MOT for your car. It’s important that you ensure you carry out checks on the condition of the electrics in your home at regular intervals. The customer will provide clear access to various socket outlets and the Fuse Box or Consumer Unit. An electrical safety inspection (EICR) will provide a full summary of the condition of the electrics in your home and determine whether it complies with the current British Standard for electrical safety (BS 7671).
