    Average price for an EICR? Another poll! Please read post before voting.

    Eicr standards

    I seem to remeber being taught /told that when doing an eicr you should test when possible to the regs that applied at the time of installation but bearing in mind the current regs. If that makes sense? So test to old standards but recommend upgrades as per new standards if you like
