If you’re responsible for a property and you’re not sure of your electrical circuits, then the chances are you need a commercial EICR inspection. That said, before diving in, it’s important to know exactly what an EICR is and what you should expect to get from one.
In this blog we’ll be providing a quick rundown on all the basics of EICR inspections and how PES could help.
What Is an EICR?
A commercial EICR inspection (or Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a full documentation of your building’s electrical circuits. It covers any damage that is found, along with potential hazards as well as wiring that doesn’t meet current regulations.
The basic aim is to diagnose any current issues and ensure that there are no safety problems going forwards.
When Do You Need An EICR?
As a business, when you have an EICR carried out is largely up to you, but you are responsible for ensuring that the premises are safe. As a rule of thumb, it’s best to carry out an EICR once every five years or more if you’re experiencing any unexplainable issues.
You should also have an EICR carried out when you acquire a new building to ensure that you’re on top of any potential hazards from the start. Failing to do so is a major safety risk as your current installations could be damaged or out of date.
