An electrical certificate check helps landlords, agents, tenants and property buyers confirm the status of an EICR certificate and understand whether the electrical installation was recorded as satisfactory or unsatisfactory.
BIM Electrical Group registers EICRs with The Electrical Safety Council where appropriate, giving clients a clearer route to checking certificate status and remedial progress.
Use The Electrical Safety Council certificate search to check whether a registered EICR record can be found. You may need the certificate reference, property address or postcode.
An electrical certificate check means reviewing the details of an electrical safety certificate to confirm what it says, who issued it, what property it relates to and whether the outcome was satisfactory or unsatisfactory.
For EICRs, the key details are the inspection date, property address, report reference, contractor details, outcome and any observations recorded.
If an EICR certificate is unsatisfactory, it means the report contains observations that require action. C1, C2 and FI observations normally need to be addressed.

Electrical safety paperwork is only useful if it can be understood, checked and actioned. A clear certificate checking process helps reduce confusion between landlords, tenants, agents and contractors.
An EICR should not leave the client guessing. The outcome should be clear: satisfactory, unsatisfactory, or requiring further investigation.
Where EICRs are registered through The Electrical Safety Council , clients can be directed to an online record rather than relying only on email attachments or old PDF copies.
For landlords and managing agents, an electrical certificate check is part of a wider compliance process. The certificate should be current, clearly linked to the correct property and properly followed up if unsatisfactory.
If the existing certificate is missing, expired, unclear or unsatisfactory, BIM Electrical Group can carry out a new EICR inspection or quote remedial works based on the current report.
