Rental legislation regarding EICRs

[Highresdis]

As already stated, if you have a valid EICR that holds.

Even with the change in regulations to 18th in 2019 (and possible amendments that follow) it does not follow that an older installation would be unsafe, which is the issue for anything coded C2 or C1 that needs attention. That is important, though unfortunately to some degree means the judgment of the inspector gets to call on and non-18th aspects.

For interest you can look over the best practice guide #4 here:

Best Practice Guides | Electrical Safety First

Electrical Safety First produces, in association with other industry bodies, a range of Best Practice Guides which provide definitive information and guidance on a range of technical subjects.

Edited to add: Sorry, just saw you are an electrician so know that already!

No worries, thanks for the message.

Just wanted to check how to respond to an old EICR customer who was getting some questions from their letting agent.
