In-depth inspection

Electrical Inspection Condition Report (EICR)

ENWCML can include your EICR as part of your COMA agreement, where we are already providing LV Maintenance services in addition to your HV agreement. Embedding all three services, takes away any worries about site compliance and you can spread the cost of the service over the term of the agreement.
Please contact our team for a survey and initial estimate.

What is an EICR?

An electrical inspection condition report (EICR) is an in-depth inspection of your property’s electrical systems and installation. The report assesses the competency of your electrics by three different categories:

C1 – this indicates that danger exists and will need immediate attention.
C2 – this indicates that there is the potential for danger and advises urgent attention.
C3 – this indicates that the electrics pose no danger but still recommends the improvement of the electrical system.

How do you know if you need an EICR?

Over time, electrical installations will deteriorate with wear and age. This can potentially become a risk if they are not regularly checked; improperly insulated wiring can lead to dangerous electrical shorts while faulty wiring and appliances can cause electrical fires. So, whether you’re a business owner, landlord or homeowner, it’s important you carry out regular checks on the condition of the electrics in your property.

The IET Wiring Regulations BS 7671, which sets the standard for electrical installations in the UK, recommends the following:

Business Owners – should have an EICR test once every five years.
Landlords – should also have an EICR test once every or when there is a change of tenancy.
Homeowners – should have an EICR test one every 10 years unless the property has a swimming pool in which case it is recommended the electrics should be tested every year. (note EMWCML do not undertake)

What is the aim of an electrical installation condition report? Carbon

The five main aims of an electrical installation condition report are:

1

Record the results of the inspection and testing to make sure the electrical installation is safe to be used until the next inspection (following any work needed to make it safe)
2

Find any damage and wear and tear that might affect safety, and report it
3

Find any parts of the electrical installation that do not meet the IET Wiring Regulations
4

Help find anything that may cause electric shocks and high temperatures
5

Provide an important record of the installation at the time of the inspection, and for inspection testing in the future.
