Studio Apartment Electrical Safety Certificate (EICR)
Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, landlords must ensure the electrical installation in their rental property is inspected and tested at least every 5 years by a qualified person. Our certified electricians carry out in-depth electrical condition testing for studio flats and open-plan apartments, providing a fully accredited Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR).
What Is Tested in a Studio EICR?
- Consumer Unit / Fuse Box: Inspection of Main Switch, circuit breakers (MCBs), and Residual Current Devices (RCDs).
- Earthing & Equipotential Bonding: Verification of Main Protective Bonding to incoming water and gas pipework.
- Circuit Wiring Integrity: Insulation resistance, continuity, and polarity testing on lighting and power ring circuits.
- Sockets, Switches & Light Fittings: Checking for damage, loose terminals, overheating, or electric shock hazards.
- Bathroom & Kitchen Electrical Safety: Verification of IP moisture ratings and zone regulations.
