Whether you manage a single building or a multi‑site national estate, GridCore provides consistent, reliable, and fully documented electrical testing with minimal disruption.
What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) - sometimes called a Fixed Wire Test, Periodic Inspection, or Electrical Safety Certificate - is a formal assessment of the condition and safety of your electrical installation.
It identifies:
Electrical faults
Damage or deterioration
Overloaded circuits
Potential fire or shock risks
Non‑compliance with BS 7671
Urgent safety issues requiring remedial work
Following the inspection, you receive a detailed report outlining any issues, coded by severity, along with clear recommendations.

How often do you need an EICR?
While there is no fixed legal interval, employers must ensure systems are maintained to prevent danger, which in practice means following industry guidance.
For most offices and commercial premises, the recommended testing frequency is once every five years.
More frequent inspections are recommended for higher‑risk environments (for example: industrial, wet, corrosive, or public entertainment venues).
GridCore can help you build a tailored inspection schedule based on your risk level, usage, and regulatory requirements.
