What is a Commercial EICR?
A commercial EICR, (Electrical Installation Condition Report), is an important inspection carried out by qualified electricians to ensure the safety of electrics within a commercial building. This is to certify the safety of staff and visitors. It is essential for business owners to carry out these inspections to ensure staff and visitors have a safe environment to work. If your business’ EICR is due for renewal, DP Electrical services can be a helping hand. We specialise in Commercial EICR for all Leeds businesses.
What is Involved with an EICR?
A qualified electrician will start an inspection by carrying out a visual check of the electrical installations, looking for any cracks, breaks or signs of overheating. Once the visual inspection has been completed, the next step will be to test various components. This is to check for damage and faulty wiring. Once a safety assessment is complete, a qualified electrician will provide you with a detailed report graded C1, C2, C3 or F1. These codes explain the severity of dangers present and where immediate action is required. If your report comes back with an unsatisfactory result, then improvements will need to be made immediately to get a satisfactory result from a re-inspection.
Why do I Need a Commercial EICR in Leeds?
It is crucial for all business owners to carry out safety inspections to commercial premises. Over a period of time, a building's electrics become worn and damaged and an EICR will allow an electrician to see where dangers are present and can rectify those issues to guarantee a safe workspace. Without a safety inspection, electrical faults may go unnoticed until hazards occur. A business owner can be at ease knowing a building's electrics are safe after a satisfactory result from an inspection.
Did you know an insurance company may also ask for a copy of an EICR to validate insurance? Without an up-to-date report, your insurance company may not pay out in events of electrical fires. You may also be liable for hazards in your workplace. Don't hesitate to book your EICR.
