C1 Code indicates towards an immediate danger ⚠️ in the property and should be rectified within 24-48 hours
C2 Code indicates towards a non-immediate danger and should be rectified within 28 days from the day of EICR- Electrical Installation Condition Report
C1 and C2 code means that your property EICR-Electrical Installation Condition Report is Fail (unsatisfactory) and all C1 and C2 remedial actions listed on EICR Report should be rectified before you can obtain a Pass EICR Report for the property.
C3 Code is a recommendation, it depends on you as a landlord if you want to carry out C3 code action/s at your property or just leave it on the report. C3 Recommendation if left on the EICR- Electrical Installation Condition Report does not fail the report, but clearly means your property electrics are in fair condition rather than good condition and your property might get a pass EICR- Electrical Installation Condition Report for anywhere from 1 to 5 years rather than complete 5 years
The report can sometime contain F1 code which means further investigation, for example if the property has high ZE value or the lights in the property are flickering.
An EICR is evidence that you followed electrical safety standards and took reasonable steps to ensure the safety of everyone in your property. After an inspection and test, the individual conducting it will provide you with a report detailing the results of the inspection and test as well as the date of when the next inspection and test is scheduled.
You must give copies of an EICR to:
All Existing Tenants Within 28 days after receiving test and inspection results.
Provide copy of the report to a new tenant/s when he/she moves in or before they occupy the premises
A Copy of an EICR to your estate agent

Until your next inspection and test, keep a copy of that report handy, as well as supplying a copy to the person conducting the next inspection and test.
The regulations state that the person conducting the inspection and test should obtain a report. In general, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is used for this within the industry.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a report that assesses the safety of an existing electrical installation within a property. The purpose of the EICR is to confirm, as much as possible, whether or not the electrical installation is in safe condition for continued use.
The EICR will show whether the electrical installation is safe or needs improvement. A list of observations that need safety improvements will be provided.
If the electrical safety report is unsatisfactory, you will need to ensure that any required remedial work or further investigation is carried out within 28 days or within the time period specified in your report–whichever is less. You will need written confirmation (in the form of Electrical Installation Certificates or Minor Work Certificates) from the electrical installer you use to do any rectification work, and this must be kept with the unsatisfactory report as documentation.
