Housing associations, managing agents and inspection companies working in Edinburgh run EICR programmes under Scotland's regulatory framework. Here's what applies, how often it's due, and how local providers manage it with Kaarr.
In Scotland, the Repairing Standard requires an EICR (with PAT of supplied appliances) at least every five years for private rented homes.
C1 and C2 observations must be remediated within 28 days in the rented sector, with written confirmation. Across a portfolio, EICRs generate a steady stream of remedial work that has to be tracked, evidenced and closed — exactly where paper processes fail.
Edinburgh is in Scotland, so the governing framework is: Repairing Standard — EICR every 5 years. In Scotland, the Repairing Standard requires an EICR (with PAT of supplied appliances) at least every five years for private rented homes.
The report must be produced by a qualified, competent electrician working to BS 7671 — software can't substitute for that. If you employ qualified electricians, Kaarr gives them the mobile workflow and handles certificates, C1/C2 remedial tracking and expiry management.
Rented homes across England, Wales and Scotland require an EICR at least every five years, by a qualified and competent electrician. Many providers add annual visual checks between EICRs. Kaarr manages the programme and the certification trail — the inspection itself must be done by a qualified electrician, in-house or contracted.
