EICR Reports (Commercial)
[ OVERVIEW ]A commercial EICR helps you understand the condition of your electrical installation and identify any issues that could pose a safety risk or impact compliance. BDS Electrical provides commercial EICR reports across the West Midlands, delivering clear findings, straightforward advice, and support with any remedial work required.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an inspection and test of the fixed wiring and electrical installation within a commercial property. It is designed to confirm whether the installation is safe for continued use and to highlight any defects, deterioration, or non-compliance that should be addressed.
Commercial EICRs are commonly required for:
Property handovers and new tenancies
Insurance requirements
Health and safety compliance
Planned maintenance and risk management
Landlords, managing agents, and facilities teams
What is a commercial EICR?
A commercial EICR typically covers:
Distribution boards and protective devices
Fixed wiring and circuits
Sockets, switches, and fixed accessories
Earthing and bonding arrangements
Circuit testing to confirm safety and performance
Clear observations and coding of issues found
You will receive a report showing the overall condition of the installation, with any findings clearly highlighted.
What does an EICR include?
Understanding EICR codes
EICR observations are usually coded to help prioritise action:
C1: Danger present, immediate action required
C2: Potentially dangerous, urgent remedial work recommended
C3: Improvement recommended
FI: Further investigation required
If any items require attention, we will explain them in plain English and advise on the best next steps.
How often should a commercial EICR be done?
There is no single rule for every business. Frequency depends on building type, usage, and risk. Many organisations schedule EICRs as part of their ongoing compliance and maintenance planning.
If you are unsure what applies to your premises, we can advise based on your sector and installation type.
