competent persons scheme (NICEIC, NAPIT, etc)



Come to think of it from a legal point of view, its probably not a bad
idea to have an EICR at a change of tenant just in case the outgoing
tenant has "interfered" with the wiring to then present a safety risk to
the incoming tenant....

If the incoming tenant is injured/electrocuted, the landlord's ability
to defend themself against a charge of letting unsafe property will be
weaker without an EICR at change of tenant?

The risk is miniscule if you consider how many deaths are through fixed
wiring per year.

I would say having the EICR certificate actually strengthens the
landlord#s position, not weakens it. If the law doesn't demand an EICR
at every change of tenant the landlord isn't obliged to have one carried
out.
