Commercial EICR Testing Near Me

What is commercial EICR testing?

A commercial EICR, short for Electrical Installation Condition Report, is the thorough testing and inspection of the fixed electrical wiring and accessories at your Bristol premises. It is used to assess the condition of your electrical installation including the wiring and fixtures such as switches, sockets and distribution boards. During an EICR inspection at your commercial premises, your electrician will be using a combination of visual inspections and diagnostic testing to ensure your electrical system is safe to use. They will note any areas of damage, wear and tear, or noncompliance with regulations. These results will be compiled and presented to you in the form of a report, the EICR itself. 

EICR Regulations for Commercial Properties 

Regular EICR testing is required by law under regulations including the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, and the Health and Safety at Work Act (1974). Compliance with these regulations is essential for ensuring the safety of your employees, visitors and service users in your commercial property. Commercial property owners and employers have a legal duty to ensure that the electrical installation of their premises is properly maintained and are safe for use.

How often do I need a commercial EICR?

For the majority of premises, commercial EICR testing is legally required every 5 years. There are, however, exceptions to this rule and the right testing schedule for you will depend on a variety of factors including the type of premises you operate from, business type and environmental exposure. Industrial premises, for example, often require more frequent testing due to the harsh conditions and heavy usage of their electrical installation.

Our team will be happy to advise you of the most appropriate schedule for your premises and business type.
