What to Do if Your EICR Fails — A Step-by-Step Guide

  • Understand the codes: C1 (immediate danger), C2 (potentially dangerous), FI (needs investigation), C3 (improvement).

  • Prioritise safety: Make safe any C1 immediately; plan C2/FI quickly.

  • Common remedials: RCD upgrades, bonding corrections, replacing damaged accessories, repairing ring continuity.

  • Choose the right contractor: NICEIC-approved, clear quotes, ability to re-test.

  • Documentation: Keep before/after evidence and updated labels.

  • Timing: Aim for swift turnaround to minimise business disruption or tenancy delays.
