Commercial EICR Christchurch

Commercial EICR in Christchurch

A commercial EICR or Electrical Installation Condition Report is an assessment of the electrical systems at a business property. The inspection will help flag up any signs of wear and tear, electrical faults and areas of non compliance.

Fixtures such as the distribution board, sockets, lighting and wiring are checked. Through an EICR, you can ensure the property does meet safety standards required by UK law.

Any electrical faults which are found will need remedial work but as expert commercial electricians, we’re always happy to discuss next steps with clients, helping you create a safer work environment.

How often do I need a commercial EICR?

This is a popular question we get asked often. The regularity of a commercial EICR does depend on the nature of your business. If for example the business had greater electrical demands through equipment and appliances such as gyms, medical centres and cinemas, it's a recommendation to have more frequent EICRs to keep individuals safe.

However, as stated by The Electricity at work Regulations 1989, a commercial EICR should typically be conducted every 5 years.
