Know the next inspection date
Relevant rented electrical installations must be inspected and tested at least every five years; the report may specify an earlier next date.

Know what deserves attention.
Short operational prompts, linked to the official source. We deliberately do not replace your legal, fire-risk or property-management advisers.
Keep the report moving with the tenancy
The electrical report has defined supply requirements for existing, new and prospective tenants, and can be requested by the local authority.
Official source ↗An EICR is not just a certificate date
C1, C2 and FI outcomes matter: the official guidance identifies these as requiring remedial or investigative action; C3 is improvement recommended.
Official source ↗Alarms sit alongside electrical compliance
Relevant landlords have smoke- and carbon-monoxide-alarm duties, including prescribed locations and repair/replacement obligations when faults are reported.
Official source ↗Who controls the premises matters
For non-domestic premises, fire-safety responsibility can fall on employers, owners, landlords, occupiers, facilities/building managers, managing agents and others with control.
Official source ↗Emergency lighting is part of the escape strategy
Fire-safety planning requires emergency lighting where needed, alongside clear escape routes and appropriate exits.
Official source ↗Systems need ongoing checks, not one-off installation
Official workplace guidance requires regular checks of fire alarms and emergency lighting, recording faults and keeping escape routes and exit signs in order.
