Legal requirement in CR0

Landlord EICR obligations

C1: Immediate danger

C1-coded items present immediate danger to persons using the installation. The landlord must arrange remedial work immediately and the EICR cannot be issued as satisfactory until C1 items are rectified.

C2: Potentially dangerous

C2-coded items are not immediately dangerous but represent a potential risk. Remedial work must be completed within 28 days of the EICR date and evidence provided to the tenant.

C3: Improvement recommended

C3 codes are observations — improvements recommended but not mandatory for the EICR to be classed as satisfactory. The EICR can still pass with C3 observations.

Penalty for non-compliance: local councils can impose financial penalties of up to £30,000 per breach. Since June 2020, councils across London have been actively enforcing EICR requirements.
