Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR)

What’s Included?

We will examine all installations for compliance with the latest British Standards (BS 7671 IEE Wiring Regulations). When an EICR is performed on the property, the electrician will need to disconnect the installation from the mains electrical power supply. Depending on the size of the property, this may be required for anywhere between a few hours to a whole day. Some larger installations, especially commercial or industrial ones, days or even weeks may be required.

Why Test the Installation?

Due to several factors (damage, wear and tear, excessive loading, and ageing), all electrical installations deteriorate. Through testing, existing faults may be identified and subsequently corrected. Potential faults can also be prevented, omitting future loss of electricity and costly down-time.

When Should You Consider an Inspection?

You should consider arranging an inspection and test of the installation on the following occasions:

• Change of Ownership
• Change of Tenancy
• Change of Use of Premises
• Verification of Continued Compliance with BS 7671
• Compliance with an Insurance Policy
• Compliance with Health and Safety Requirements, Namely:
• Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
• The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998
• The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
• The Management of Houses in Multiple Occupation (England) Regulations 2006

Did You Know?

Figures show that 15% of serious injuries caused by electricity occur in schools and colleges.
