Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR)

Nationwide Fixed Wire Testing for UK Businesses

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is essential for ensuring your electrical systems are safe, compliant, and fit for purpose.

As a nationwide electrical testing provider, GridCore delivers professional Fixed Wire Testing and EICR inspections, enabling businesses, landlords, and public‑sector organisations comply with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 (EAWR).

Our qualified engineers carry out detailed inspections to identify defects, deterioration, and non‑compliance with BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations), helping you protect people, property, and operations.

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.

Electrical testing

Using calibrated test equipment, we conduct continuity testing, insulation resistance testing, polarity checks, earth-fault loop impedance testing, RCD testing and functional testing.

Identification of defects

All issues are coded according to BS 7671:

C1 – Danger present (immediate action required)
C2 – Potentially dangerous (urgent remedial work required)

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).

For high-use facilities, we recommend combining EICR testing with thermographic imaging surveys to detect hidden heat anomalies before component failure occurs.

GridCore can help you build a tailored inspection schedule based on your risk level, usage, and regulatory requirements.
