Why does my office, workplace or rented property need an Electrical Installation Condition Report?

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). For some workplaces, like hospitals and high use areas, it is recommended that EICR is completed every year.

 

But why do you need your wiring checked? And what gets checked?

Wiring deteriorates over time and an Electrical Installation Condition Report will identify any faults so that they can be rectified, ensuring no harm can come to colleagues, customers or the general public. Importantly, it also ensures that your insurance isn’t invalid, as without an updated EICR Electrical Test Certificate your insurance could be invalidated.

 

Through the test, our local electrician in the West Midlands will check:

  • The adequacy of the earthing and bonding
  • Check each device provides adequate protection against fire and electric shock.
  • Any damage or wear and tear, to both the wiring and things like sockets and plugs, that might affect the safety of the property’s inhabitants.
  • Identification of any exposed live wires that could cause a fire or injury.

The Electrical Installation Condition Report is produced to highlight any perceived risks by a trained and certified electrician.

A properly conducted and reported EICR will ensure a landlord or business owner is compliant with the following regulations:

  • Health and Safety Regulations
  • Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations
  • The Electricity at Work Regulations
  • HSE requirements and ISO standards
  • Insurance company requirements
  • Fire risk assessment

If you are a private landlord, depending on the type and use of equipment in your property or premises, we advise an Electrical Installation Condition Report needs completing to the following timescales:

  • Every 5 Years
    Or upon
  • Change of Ownership
  • Change of Tenancy
  • Change of Use of Premises

This will then ensure you comply with BS7671 and the terms and conditions of your landlord insurance.

Your Questions Answered

We often get asked about EICRs for businesses or rented properties. Here are the ones we regularly get asked:

Why should I use a NAPIT approved electrician and not just any old electrician to conduct a EICR?

You get instant peace of mind by choosing a NAPIT approved electrician and you know they are fully qualified, accredited and approved to conduct an EICR. NAPIT is one of the leading Government approved and United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) accredited membership scheme operators in the building services and fabric sector.

By using a NAPIT approved local electrician in the West Midlands, you can be sure our approved electricians hold all the correct accreditations you need to maintain your compliance – it’s why we recommend only specific electricians that have passed our stringent exams and accreditation process.

How much will it cost?

This depends on the amount of circuits, plugs and electrical equipment you have in the property. But don’t worry, once we’ve quoted, your price will be fixed. We won’t charge you any extra for the report and certificate.

Do I really need an EICR in the West Midlands?

We always recommend that, whether you are a landlord or occupier of commercial premises, you get the right electrical certificate. This ensures that you remain within the regulations, keeping your colleagues, clients and members of the public safe, and we are sure, enabling you to sleep at night. The last thing you want to be worry about is your electrics when a certificate is so cheap to obtain.
