In their own words, The National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting (NICEIC) describes the need to check the condition of your electrics a little like having MOT for cars. It’s the organisation responsible for implementing and coordinating commercial landlord EICR reports. Every 5 years, landlords must arrange for an NICEIC-accredited electrical company to assess multiple aspects of their property’s electrics in order to provide all tenants with a valid EICR certificate.
As with faulty vehicles, faulty electrics pose a high risk, hence the government legislation. As an example, electrical faults are responsible for almost half of all UK domestic fires, and every year around 70 people are killed and a whopping circa 350,000 injured.
Stator Electrical Solutions Ltd is an established NICEIC-accredited specialist, and our team of engineers help professional landlords throughout Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire to meet and exceed this legislation. Failure to present tenants with an up-to-date EICR certificate will result in a fine, it will invalidate certain insurance contracts and will damage the brand and reputation of any organisation.
An EICR report (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a relatively straightforward process for a qualified, experienced company like Stator. Our engineers will test all aspects of your property’s electrics and will present you with a report broken down into three key categories: C1 will indicate aspects of your electrics that present danger and that need immediate attention; Electrics graded as C2 means that there is a potential for danger. C2 aspects are regarded as urgent; C3 indicates that your property’s electrics pose no danger to those using it. However, there may well be recommendations for improvement.
Not only is Stator Electrical Solutions Ltd NICEIC-accredited, but all Stator Engineers receive regular up-training. Stator Electrical is part of the Part P Electrical Safety Scheme, a member of the CSCS scheme, part of the Electrotechnical Certification Scheme, and is SSIP Safety Scheme in Procurement-registered. As well as our engineers being criminal-checked, Stator Electrical is part of the government’s TrustMark standards scheme, so you’ll be sure that you have the most reputable, trustworthy and professional personnel on your premises!
