Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs)

The purpose of Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR), are to provide an assessment of the installations compliance with BS 7671 Wiring Regulations and to identify as far as reasonably practical any defects and departures from the requirements of the Regulations. Records of maintenance, including test results, preferably kept throughout the working life of an electrical system will enable the condition of equipment and the effectiveness of maintenance policies to be monitored.

During your inspection, a thorough visual examination of the installation will be carried out, together with appropriate tests.

During your inspection, the engineer will;

  • Record the results of the inspection and testing to state at the time of inspection, whether the electrical installation is safe to be used until the next inspection (following any required repairs or remedial work).
  • Find any damage and wear and tear that might affect safety, and report it.
  • Find any parts of the electrical installation that do not meet the IET Wiring Regulations.
  • Help find anything that may cause electric shocks and high temperatures.
  • Provide an important record of the installation at the time of the inspection, and for inspection and testing in the future.

Unlike the initial verification completed by the electrical installer before the installation was put into service, our EICR inspections are less intrusive and disruptive to your business. Although some board covers will need to be removed in certain areas, it is not likely to be necessary to remove all accessories or carry out the full range of tests on every circuit. We work with you to ensure we inspect your premises in the least disruptive manner, ensuring that your business can continue usual productivity.

The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 (EAWR) places a legal responsibility on the Duty Holder to ensure that electrical installations are safe for as long as they remain operational (until point of decommission). An EICR report from a reputable provider will ensure that your business is aware of potential electrical safety concerns, giving you the opportunity to rectify issues. This then provide the standards for insurance that are expected.
