✅ What Is a Periodic Inspection Report (PIR)?
A Periodic Inspection Report—often shortened to PIR—is an official document issued after a detailed inspection and testing of the fixed wiring in a building’s electrical installation. It checks the condition and safety of all electrical circuits, fittings, and systems and is carried out by qualified, registered electricians.
A PIR is designed to:
- Highlight any potential safety risks
- Identify defective or outdated electrical work
- Confirm compliance with current Irish electrical regulations
- Recommend actions for repair or improvement
This report is often referred to as an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), particularly in newer terminology—but in Ireland, PIR remains the most commonly used term.
Whether you’re a landlord, homeowner, business owner, or property manager, a PIR gives you complete peace of mind that your electrical systems are safe, legal, and up to date.
