EICRs
Electrical Installation Condition Reports for commercial, industrial and domestic premises.
Clear information for the next decision.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report should give the person responsible for a property a useful picture of the installation and any areas that need attention.
Inspection and testing are intended to establish whether an installation is safe for continued use, identify deterioration or defects and give the person responsible for the property useful information about what needs attention.
The scope and limitations should be clear, along with the results, any classification codes and any remedial work or further investigation that is recommended.
The electrical details behind eicrs.
The exact scope depends on the existing installation and the way the property or site is used.
Visual inspection
Look for damage, deterioration and unsuitable alterations.
Circuit testing
Carry out the electrical tests appropriate to the inspection.
Results
Record measurements and observations clearly.
Classification
Apply the relevant condition-report codes where required.
Remedials
Identify work needed to address defects.
Records
Provide the relevant report or certification.
A clear route through the work.
Site access, electrical condition and project complexity determine the final programme, but the process remains focused on understanding, completing and verifying the work properly.
Agree the scope
Confirm the installation, access and any known issues.
Inspect & test
