Understanding EICR Inspections & Testing
What is an EICR?
Fixed-wire circuit testing or Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) are mandatory for all workplaces.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report EICR is a formal condition report that assesses the installation condition of your entire electrical installation, including wiring systems, consumer units, fuse boards and associated electrical equipment. It is carried out by a qualified electrician or electrical inspector to confirm that your electrical installation complies with current electrical safety standards.
The process comprises a series of tests and inspections to ensure that all systems are in full compliance with UK electrical regulations, including the Electrical Work Regulations 1989 and IET (Institution of Engineering and Technology) Wiring Regulations. EICRs aim to identify any potential hazards that could compromise the safety of your premises and any occupants, and provide an EICR certificate as evidence that your workplace is compliant.
We complete EICRs for commercial and industrial clients, thoroughly inspecting your electrical system including wiring, distribution boards, fuse boxes and other electrical components. Failing to conduct regular EICRs could lead to repercussions such as the decommissioning of the building and substantial financial penalties. Contact us today to stay compliant and schedule your EICR.

EICR Categories & Ratings
Unsatisfactory / Dangerous
- C1 – Immediate danger is present and requires urgent remedial action.
- C2 – Potentially dangerous, urgent remedial work required – notice to complete remedial work within 30 days.
- F1 – Improvement is needed and further investigation is required.
An unsatisfactory installation condition report EICR means the electrical installation condition does not meet the required safety standards. Where C1 or C2 codes are identified, remedial works must be completed within the specified timeframe to ensure safety and achieve a valid EICR. If further investigation is required, this must be addressed without delay to determine whether additional remedial action is necessary.
Satisfactory
- C3 – Recommendations for improvement or advisories for improvement are provided.
A satisfactory electrical installation condition report confirms that the electrical installation condition is safe for continued use at the time of inspection. While C3 items do not prevent the issue of an EICR certificate, they highlight areas where recommended works may enhance long-term electrical safety.
How often do I need an EICR?
To comply with your duty of care obligations and electrical safety standards under the Health & Safety Act 1975 and Electrical Work Regulations 1989, EICRs are required to be completed. The maximum period between inspections should be no longer than 3-5 years, depending on your industry.
For most commercial properties, an Electrical Installation Condition Report EICR is required at least every five years, although this can vary depending on the type of premises, usage levels and environmental factors. The next inspection date will be stated within the condition report. Higher-risk environments or sites with significant electrical equipment may require more frequent inspection to maintain compliance with relevant regulations.
