A Commercial EICR is also called a fixed wire test. Many companies look for this under the name “fixed wire testing for commercial premises.”
It focuses on the permanent wiring within your building, not portable appliances.
Testing includes:
The results are recorded in a formal EICR certificate.
Commercial installations are usually more complicated than home systems. They may include:
This requires a deeper inspection process and more detailed reporting.
Electrical systems naturally degrade due to:
Regular inspection ensures small issues are identified early.
You are in charge of electrical safety if you own or run a business property.
Landlords must make sure that the fixed installation is safe. An up-to-date EICR shows that you are a responsible manager and keeps you out of trouble.
UK safety law says that employers have to keep electrical systems safe. An EICR helps show that you are following the rules and lowers your risk.
Planned inspection programs help sites stay ready for audits and cut down on unexpected problems.
There are often sensitive pieces of equipment in offices, clinics, and medical centers. Industrial units can handle heavier loads and more complicated systems.
Hiring a qualified, licensed electrician for your business or industrial space makes sure that inspections are thorough and up to code.
Where shops and flats share a building, inspection responsibilities may differ depending on lease arrangements. We clarify scope before testing begins.
You may be asking whether a commercial EICR is legally required.
UK law requires electrical systems to be maintained safely. An EICR is the recognised method for demonstrating compliance.
These regulations require electrical systems to be constructed and maintained to prevent danger. Duty holders must ensure systems remain safe.
Commercial EICRs assess installations against BS 7671 standards.
While legislation requires safe maintenance, many insurers, landlords, and commercial leases expect a valid EICR as evidence of compliance.
Responsibility depends on the lease agreement.
In many cases:
We help clarify responsibility before testing to avoid confusion.
Insurance companies and auditors often want proof that electrical testing was done recently. An EICR that is valid shows that you did your homework and supports the validity of your insurance.
Buildings with heavy machinery, moisture, public access, or sensitive equipment may require more frequent inspections.
Some commercial properties test a percentage of circuits annually, completing full coverage over several years. This can reduce disruption and spread costs.
Inspection frequency depends on risk level, usage, and environment.
Premises Type | Typical Interval |
Offices | 5 years |
Retail Units | 5 years |
Industrial Sites | 3–5 years |
Medical Centres | 1–3 years |
Swimming Pools | 1 year |
These are general guidelines. The inspector may recommend a shorter interval based on findings.
Understanding the process helps you plan effectively.
We confirm:
Photos of distribution boards help provide accurate quotations.
We check:
Structured electrical testing includes:
Some circuits require temporary shutdown. We coordinate carefully to minimise disruption.
Three-phase systems and large industrial boards require additional testing procedures. We follow structured testing methods to ensure safety and accuracy.
After inspection, you receive a detailed Electrical Installation Condition Report.
No dangerous defects identified. Installation is safe for continued use.
Defects requiring corrective action have been identified.
Observation codes include:
Each observation is clearly explained in the report.
An unsatisfactory report does not mean major disruption.
We provide:
Fast resolution reduces risk and prevents extended non-compliance.
Cost is mainly influenced by circuit numbers and installation complexity.
Many businesses request a commercial EICR cost per circuit to estimate budgets.
A “price per circuit” approach is common for larger installations, but final cost depends on safe isolation and testing time.
