Landlord Safety Certificates (EICRs)

An Electrical Installation Condition Report, or EICR, is a formal check of the fixed electrical wiring in a property. It shows whether the installation is in a safe condition and highlights anything that needs attention.

We inspect and test the installation, then give you a clear report. If any work is needed, we explain what it is and why, and we can carry it out for you. Landlords and property owners often need up-to-date certificates, so we make the process as straightforward as we can.

Questions

Common questions

  • An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection and assessment of an electrical installation to determine its condition and identify any defects or potential safety concerns.

  • Yes. Private landlords in Scotland must ensure that the electrical installations in their properties are inspected and tested at the intervals required by Scottish repairing standard legislation and guidance.

  • If the inspection identifies defects requiring remedial work, SCE can explain the findings and provide a quotation for the necessary repairs. A satisfactory report may require the relevant defects to be corrected first.

  • The time and cost depend on the size of the property, the number of circuits, accessibility and the condition of the installation. SCE can provide a quote based on your property details.
