What Is an EICR Code?
Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) use classification codes to assess the condition of wiring and electrical systems in your home or rental property. Understanding these codes helps homeowners and landlords identify safety issues and know what action is required.

C1 – Danger Present
Immediate risk of electric shock or fire.
C1 observations require urgent attention by a qualified electrician. Common examples include exposed live parts, conductive parts that have become live due to a fault, or incorrect polarity.

C2 – Potentially Dangerous
Not an immediate risk, but unsafe and requires prompt repair.
C2 observations often include circuits without RCD protection, incorrect bonding, or damaged accessories. These should be repaired as soon as possible to maintain safety.
