EICR for Offices and Commercial Buildings

At MJ Electrical, we specialize in providing thorough Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) for offices and commercial buildings throughout Bedfordshire. Our services are designed to help business owners and property managers maintain electrical safety, comply with legal obligations, and protect both employees and assets.

What is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed assessment of your property's electrical systems. It identifies any defects, deterioration, or non-compliance with current safety standards, ensuring that your electrical installations are safe and fit for continued use.

Why are EICRs Essential for Commercial Properties?

• Legal Compliance: Under regulations such as the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, employers are legally required to ensure the safety of electrical installations in the workplace. Regular EICRs demonstrate due diligence in maintaining electrical safety standards.

• Safety Assurance: Regular inspections help prevent electrical hazards, reducing the risk of fires, electric shocks, and other accidents that could endanger occupants and disrupt business operations.

• Insurance Requirements: Many insurance policies mandate up-to-date EICRs as part of their terms. Failure to comply can result in invalidated coverage, leaving you unprotected in the event of an incident.

Recommended Inspection Frequency

The frequency of EICR inspections for commercial properties varies based on the type of establishment and its usage. Generally, it is recommended that offices and shops undergo EICR inspections every five years.

Our EICR Process
