Commercial EICR
What is a Commercial EICR?
A Commercial Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a professional inspection of the electrical installation within a commercial or industrial property. A qualified electrician carries out the assessment to determine whether the electrical system is safe, complies with BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations), and is suitable for continued use.
The inspection identifies electrical defects, deterioration, potential overloading, non-compliant components, and other problems that could pose a risk to employees, visitors, or the property itself.
A Commercial EICR provides essential documentation for safety audits, insurance requirements, regulatory compliance, and the continued operation of a business.
Why a Commercial EICR Matters
For business owners, landlords, facilities managers, and other duty-holders, maintaining a valid Commercial EICR is an important part of electrical safety and legal compliance under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
Failure to maintain a safe electrical installation can result in:
- Business interruption and operational downtime
- Enforcement notices and legal penalties
- Risk of fire, electric shock, or equipment failure
- Insurance claim rejection
- Increased liability for workplace accidents or injuries
An EICR helps ensure that the electrical installation is safe, properly maintained, and capable of meeting the operational needs of the business.

Commercial EICR – FAQs
How often should a commercial EICR be carried out?
A commercial EICR is typically carried out every 5 years. However, higher-risk environments such as factories, warehouses, gyms, and restaurants may require more frequent testing.
Who needs a Commercial EICR?
Business owners, landlords, property managers, employers, commercial tenants, and anyone responsible for workplace safety may need a Commercial EICR.
Can I operate my business without a valid EICR?
Electrical installations must remain safe at all times. An expired or missing EICR can increase the risk of hazards and may result in legal action or insurance refusal.
What happens if the EICR reveals faults?
C1 and C2 issues need to be rectified before the installation can be considered safe. After repairs are completed, a new report or completion certificate may be required.
Will the inspection disrupt business operations?
We offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends, to help minimise disruption and reduce downtime.
Do commercial tenants or landlords hold responsibility?
Responsibility depends on the lease agreement, but both landlords and tenants must ensure electrical safety. Landlords often manage fixed wiring, while tenants are generally responsible for their own equipment.
Can an EICR help reduce insurance premiums?
Yes. Insurers often require evidence of electrical safety. A valid EICR can demonstrate compliance and provide supporting evidence for insurance claims.
