2) EICR inspection in Chilwell

If an EICR is due at your business, it will involve one of our qualified electricians conducting a strict inspection of the fixed electrical wiring at the premises. As a business owner, you probably know how important routine and regular EICRs are in identifying electrical faults to reduce the risk of property damage or injury to employees. During an Electrical Installation Condition Report Stator Electrical Solutions inspect the wiring, lighting, switches and outlets as well as the main hub for distributing electricity, the distribution board or consumer unit.

Having worked with numerous businesses in Chilwell, the first thing we do is an initial assessment by inspecting the building and assessing previous electrical records which should include any upgrade work carried out on the building.

The actual inspection part includes a visual check to look for obvious signs of damage such as overheating, scorch marks or damaged wiring. We can also identify whether labels on the distribution board are correctly labelled and if earthing has been correctly installed. We then move onto the electrical testing phase using a range of electrical equipment. Tests include earth fault loop impedance tests to see if circuit breakers stop power in the event of a fault within the recommended time frame. Continuity tests are also carried out to make sure the pathway taken by current is continuous, without any gaps.

Any concerning electrical faults are assigned a code.

• C1 represents highly dangerous faults where the risk of injury is imminent.
• C2 faults could be potentially dangerous so require urgent repair work.
• C3 codes suggest the electrical installation is safe but upgrades could be considered to meet modern requirements. Finally, FI or Further investigation means our experienced team needs more time to check a particular fault or concern.

As Stator Electrical Solutions are NICEIC approved electricians, we actually use NICEIC software to record faults found during an EICR. This makes the whole process pretty seamless and convenient when providing customers with the final report. So the most important part is the outcome of the inspection. Ideally a "satisfactory" result won’t have any C1 or C2 faults so you just need to make sure of the next EICR in around 5 years for a retail or admin space. Factories or warehouses with higher electrical activity may need an EICR sooner like every 3 years but one of the team will be able to better inform you after an initial site visit.

If a number of C1 or C2 hazards are identified during an EICR, the outcome will be marked as "unsatisfactory" but the great thing about Stator Electrical Solutions is that we can carry out the remedial work within the 28 day time frame.
Failure to conduct regular EICR’s and recommended repair work can lead to invalid insurance policies, hefty fines and even criminal charges.
