Why does my office, workplace or Property need an Electrical Installation Condition Report?
This is a question we get asked a lot.
It is recommended by the Institute of Electricians that any electrical wiring or installations be inspected and tested at least once every 5 years by a qualified electrician to comply with Health and Safety Regulations (1974), Electricity at Work Regulations (1989) and Provision and the Use of Work Equipment Regulations (1998). Wiring deteriorates over time and an Electrical Installation Condition Report will identify any faults so they can be rectified so no harm can come to colleagues, customers or the general public.
It sounds daunting and even worse, your insurance could be invalid without an EICR
The aim of the Electrical Installation Condition Report is to review all electrical fixed wire installation in its environment and make sure that there is no risk of injury. We don’t go looking for problems like others, but simply complete the report to highlight to you any risks.
By having an Electrical Installation Condition Report completed by one of our qualified electricians, your business will comply with:
- Health and Safety Regulations
