For an England rented home covered by the electrical safety regulations, use the shorter interval in its report or the five-year maximum to plan the next inspection. This month-based planner gives the start of the planning month; check the exact due date and outstanding observations in the report. A future date does not establish electrical safety or compliance. For commercial premises, owner-occupied homes and other UK nations, use the applicable inspection requirements and the competent inspector's recommendation.
How to use the EICR Renewal Planning Calculator
- Read the complete report, including its exact next inspection date and outstanding observations.
- Enter the inspection year, month and report interval in months, up to 60 months for the England rented-home context.
- Use the displayed month to plan access and booking; confirm the exact deadline from the report.
- Keep the report and any remedial confirmation together, and request an inspection quote when the next inspection is due.
How the EICR Renewal Planning Calculator works
Use the inspection report's shorter interval where specified, up to the five-year maximum for the England rented homes covered by the regulations.
- June 2024 inspection with a 24-month interval: plan the next inspection for June 2026.
- A five-year interval from June 2024 gives June 2029; an earlier exact report date takes priority.
- The planner counts to the first day of that month so it does not encourage booking beyond an unknown inspection day.

Frequently asked questions
Does a future planning date mean the property is compliant?
No. Read the report's findings, limitations and exact next inspection date. Required remedial or investigative work is a separate obligation from scheduling the next inspection.
What if the report gives an earlier date?
Follow the earlier date. Use the interval in months here only as a planning aid; the exact report date takes priority.
Does this calculate the interval for a commercial premises?
No. This planner uses the England rented-home maximum. A commercial inspection programme depends on the actual installation, risk and competent inspector's recommendation.
Does an electrical repair restart the inspection interval?
Do not assume so. Keep the original report and repair evidence together and confirm the next inspection requirement with the competent inspector.
