A Commercial EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a detailed inspection of the fixed electrical systems in a business property. It checks whether the installation is safe, in good condition, and suitable for everyday commercial use. The report helps identify faults, damage, or potential hazards that could affect safety or performance.

UK businesses have a legal duty to ensure that electrical systems are safe and properly maintained. This responsibility is set out under the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Electricity at Work Regulations. These laws require employers and duty holders to prevent danger arising from electrical installations.
While the law does not set a fixed inspection interval for commercial properties, having a valid Commercial EICR is widely recognised as the most effective way to demonstrate compliance. Electrical installations are expected to meet the standards set out in BS 7671, also known as the IET Wiring Regulations.
Local authorities, insurers, and commercial landlords may request electrical safety reports as evidence of compliance, particularly in London and other high regulation areas.

A section that provides quick answers to common queries.
A Commercial EICR is an Electrical Installation Condition Report carried out in non domestic premises. It assesses the safety and condition of fixed electrical systems in workplaces such as offices, shops, warehouses, and industrial units.
There is no single law that sets a fixed interval for commercial EICRs, but UK health and safety legislation requires businesses to maintain safe electrical systems. This includes duties under the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Electricity at Work Regulations. A valid EICR helps demonstrate compliance.
Most commercial properties require an EICR every three to five years. Higher risk environments, such as industrial sites or premises with heavy electrical usage, may need inspections more frequently.
The duration depends on the size of the premises, the number of circuits, and the complexity of the electrical installation. Small offices may take a few hours, while larger commercial or industrial sites can take a full day or longer.
In many cases, inspections can be planned to minimise disruption. Some power interruptions may be required for testing, but our electricians work with you to schedule inspections at suitable times.
Any issues found are recorded in the report using safety codes. Some faults require urgent action, while others are advisory. Once remedial work is completed, the electrical installation can be brought up to a satisfactory standard.
Many insurers, landlords, and commercial lease agreements require a valid electrical safety report. Having an up to date EICR can help avoid delays, disputes, or policy issues.
