Commercial EICR in Aylesbury

If you are the business owner or landlord of commercial premises in Aylesbury, you have a legal responsibility to maintain a safe working environment. This includes the electrical system. To comply with this requirement, you’ll need a competent and qualified electrician to carry out a commercial EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) at your Aylesbury area premises. Inlight Electrical are your local, experienced, and fully qualified commercial electrician in Aylesbury. If you need a commercial EICR, our professional electricians are on hand to help.

What is a commercial EICR?

An EICR, short for Electrical Installation Condition Report, is a formal report produced by a qualified and registered electrician. The report is produced following an in-depth assessment of the fixed electrical system in your Aylesbury premises. An EICR inspection is carried out to identify any electrical faults, damage or areas of deterioration which require attention. 

When your electrician attends your Aylesbury premises to carry out your commercial EICR they will: 

•    Ensure the electrical installations are safe for continued use.
•    Identify any areas of wear & tear which need addressing.
•    Highlight any areas which are no longer compliant with current safety regulation.
•    Prioritise any faults found in terms of urgency, allocating each a specific code.
•    Provide you with a copy of the EICR report itself.

What do commercial EICR codes show?

The faults or issues on your commercial EICR are graded using specific codes that advise the severity of the issue and the urgency with which it must be dealt with. 

The codes on your EICR are:

-    Code 1 (C1): Danger present. Risk of injury. Immediate remedial action required. - An issue graded with a C1 code is a serious risk to health and requires urgent work. Often the electrician will have to perform the work before leaving your premises. 

-    Code 2 (C2): Potentially dangerous – urgent remedial action required. - A fault graded with a C2 code requires remedial work as soon as possible and poses a possible risk to life. The remedial work must be carried out in a set period of time.

-    Code 3 (C3): Improvement recommended. – A code C3 can be applied to any areas that are safe for continued use but which do not meet current regulations. These areas will often require remedial work sooner rather than later and knowing about them can help you to plan for the works.

-    Further Investigation (FI): Further investigation required without delay. – A code FI means the electrician has noticed something unusual that is not covered by the scope of their EICR inspection but that needs to be properly checked to rule out an issue.

After the commercial EICR at you Aylesbury premises our electricians will discuss their findings with you. We will explain each fault, the urgency with which it must be dealt with and the best solution. If you would like, we can arrange for the remedial works to be carried out a matter of priority. 

How often do I need a commercial EICR?

A commercial EICR is required every five years in most business settings. Your electrician may make a different recommendation if your business is in select industries where wear and tear and damage are more likely to occur. Having regular commercial EICRs not only helps you to meet your legal obligations, it also helps prevent breakdowns in your business, saving you time and money in the long term.
