What are Reports on Condition of Commercial Electrical Installation (EICR) and why do you need one for your business?
Old, faulty, and unsafe cabling is one
of the business's major causes or electrical fires. These are Commercial
Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) and must be carried out by
an approved registered contractor.
Commercial Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR)
An EICR is a comprehensive report on
your business's fixed cabling covering all your Commercial Electrical
Installation. Any checks are categorized into three levels of urgency: Code
One (C1) are extremely urgent issues and will need immediate rectification.
Problems with Code Two (C2) are issues that pose a potential hazard, but these
can often be fixed later. Code Three (C3) issues are only recommendations that
the electrician offers and not considered unsafe, general guidance or best
practice.
Need
This is a common question that we get
asked, first of all you need an EICR to ensure your business is a safe place to
be. There are two types of EICR relevant to business owners–Visual Condition Reports
are basic controls performed by electricians and only really suitable if your
electrics have been tested recently through Commercial Electrical
Installation. Periodic inspection reports are much more thorough
inspections and reveal the state of electrical wiring systems in your
household.
New landlord legislation
For Landlords, the Government has
introduced new tougher electrical safety standards to protect private tenants.
As part of the new standards, the Government sets out the good practice that
landlords provide testing of electrical appliances and visual inspections of
electrical appliances at every change of tenancy (if less than five years).
What are you supposed to look for in an EICR provider?
Your electrician or contractor needs to
be approved by various regulatory electrical bodies, such as NICEIC, STROMA and
ECA. These are regulatory bodies which carry out competency checks on
electricians for the UK electrical industry.
