Your obligations, clearly labelled
What's legally required, what's recommended, and what comes from a lease, licence or insurer. A summary only — check current guidance for your circumstances.
- Legal requirement
Maintain electrical systems
Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 (Great Britain): employers must keep systems and equipment safe. No fixed interval is set in law.
- Legal requirement
Fire safety measures maintained
Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (England and Wales), including emergency lighting and fire alarms.
- Legal requirement
Care homes and the landlord rules
Care homes are excluded from the rented-sector EICR regulations in England, so workplace duties apply instead.
- Lease, licence or insurer
Funders, insurers and inspectors
Your insurer, local authority or funder may set inspection intervals and ask for records. Check your agreements.
