NOTES FOR RECIPIENT
THIS CERTIFICATE IS A VALUABLE DOCUMENT AND SHOULD BE RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
This Electrical Installation Condition Report form is intended for the reporting on the condition of an existing electrical installation.
You should have received an original Certificate and the contractor should have retained a duplicate. If you were the person ordering
this report, but not the owner of the installation, you should pass this Report, or a full copy of it, immediately to the user.
The original Report is to be retained in a safe place and be shown to any person inspecting or undertaking further work on the electrical
installation in the future. If you later vacate the property, this Report will provide the new owner with the details of the condition of the
electrical installation at the time the Report was issued.
The ‘Extent and Limitations’ box should fully identify the extent of the installation covered by this Report and any limitations on the
inspection and tests. The contractor should have agreed these aspects with you and any interested parties (Licensing Authority,
Insurance Company, Building Society etc) before the inspection was carried out.
The Report will usually contain a list of recommended actions necessary to bring the installation up to the current standard.For items
classified as ‘requires urgent attention’, the safety of those using the installation may be at risk, and it is recommended that a
competent person undertake the necessary remedial work without delay.
For safety reasons, the electrical installation will need to be inspected at appropriate intervals by a competent person. The maximum
time interval recommended before the next inspection is stated in the Report under “Next Inspection.”
