EICR / Inspection & Testing (Industrial)
[ OVERVIEW ]Industrial electrical systems need to be safe, reliable, and suitable for demanding environments. An industrial EICR and inspection and testing programme helps identify faults, deterioration, and risks before they become costly downtime or safety incidents. BDS Electrical provides industrial EICR inspection and testing across the West Midlands, with clear reporting, straightforward advice, and support with remedial work where required.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an inspection and test of the fixed electrical installation. In industrial settings, this is especially important due to higher loads, three phase supplies, and equipment demands.
An industrial EICR helps you:
Understand the condition of your electrical installation
Identify safety issues and deterioration
Reduce risk to people, equipment and operations
Support compliance and responsible maintenance planning
Prepare for handovers, audits, insurance requirements, or site changes
What is an industrial EICR?
Industrial inspection and testing can include:
Distribution boards, protective devices, and isolation points
Sub mains, containment, and cabling condition
Earthing and bonding arrangements
Fixed circuits supplying equipment and site services
Lighting and power circuits across the premises
Testing to confirm safety and performance
Clear observations with prioritised actions
Your report will outline the condition of the installation and highlight any issues that require attention.
What we inspect and test
Understanding EICR codes
EICR observations are typically coded to help you prioritise actions:
C1: Danger present, immediate action required
C2: Potentially dangerous, urgent remedial work recommended
C3: Improvement recommended
FI: Further investigation required
We will explain any findings in plain English, helping you understand what needs doing and why.
Minimising disruption and downtime
We understand industrial sites often cannot stop operating without planning. Where possible, we will:
Agree testing scope and access requirements in advance
Schedule work around shift patterns and shutdown windows
Phase testing by areas or boards
Coordinate isolations with your site contact
Keep disruption controlled and well communicated
Remedial work and ongoing support
If the inspection identifies issues, BDS Electrical can complete remedial work to help you move from report to resolution efficiently.
We can support:
Urgent safety fixes where required
Planned remedial work to reduce risk over time
Upgrades to distribution and protection where needed
Ongoing industrial electrical maintenance to reduce future faults
This creates a clear pathway from inspection, to action, to ongoing reliability.

-
It depends on the size of the site, number of distribution boards, circuits, and access. We can provide an estimate after a quick discussion or site visit.
-
Some testing requires circuit isolation. We plan isolations with your site contact and aim to minimise disruption using phased working or shutdown windows.
-
C1 and C2 items require urgent attention. We will explain what has been found and can quote for remedial works to make the installation safe.
-
Yes. We can complete remedial works and provide any required documentation on completion.
