Tests carried out during an EICR

Continuity of Earth Conductors

This is to verify the connection of the main earthing conductors

Installation Earth Electrode Test

This is a test of the resistance of the earthing conductor using an earth rod for the purpose of earthing

Prospective Fault Current Test

This test is performed to find the potential fault current to Earth Ipf

Continuity of Circuit Protective Conductors

This is to check all circuits have a circuit protective conductor and there is continuity to each final circuit where required

Continuity of Ring Final Circuits

Where ring final circuits are used the continuity of ring final circuit conductors will be tested from end to end

Continuity of Protective Bonding Conductors

There will be a test carried out to prove continuity of protective bonding conductors to earth

Voltage Drop

Voltage testing will be carried out on all final circuits and distribution circuits

Insulation Resistance

Tests will be made to prove the integrity of the cable insulation
EICR reports

Polarity of Live Conductors

The polarity of the supply and all final circuits will be checked before and after power is energised
EICR nottingham

Earth Fault Loop Impedence

The earth fault loop impedence tests will be carried out on all distribution and final circuits
