Back to topAn EICR or Electrical Installation Condition Report is an in depth electrical inspection of the systems at your business in Winthorpe. Within the industry, an EICR is also referred to as a fixed wire test.
The purpose of an EICR is to check that electrical installations are compliant with Building Regulations. Having commercial electricians conduct an EICR will help meet the requirements of regulations such as the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. It's worth adding that an EICR should be conducted every 5 years for businesses such as retail and offices. For a business deemed as high risk such as a factory, an EICR should be carried out by a qualified electrician every 3 years.
The inspection ensures safety at your commercial business by identifying areas of wear and tear and recognising electrical faults before they escalate. The inspection includes visual checks where our highly experienced electricians keep a sharp eye out for signs of deterioration and damage. We want to identify potential issues such as loose connections or improper cable entries before they worsen.
Next, we carry out a series of electrical tests to check earthing and insulation resistance. We inspect the principal installations such as wiring, lighting, the consumer unit or distribution boards, outlets and switches. Stator Electrical Solutions do expect more complex electrical systems in commercial buildings which includes fixed electrical equipment or machinery. Any additional electrical systems also need to be tested by the team.
Electrical concerns are recorded to help generate the final report. Electrical faults are assigned a code from C1 being very dangerous faults which need immediate action. C2 faults are typically identified as they could potentially be dangerous and C3 electrical faults suggest that we recommend an improvement, but there is no immediate danger. FI or Further investigation usually means we need to conduct further testing to see if a particular fault is dangerous.
A satisfactory outcome can only be achieved with minor C3 faults. You don’t need to panic just yet if your business in Winthorpe ends up with an unsatisfactory outcome. You have 28 days to make sure remedial work is carried out. Stator Electrical Solutions are here to help you with next steps and remedial work.
