What is a commercial EICR?
A commercial EICR, Electrical Installation Condition Report, is a comprehensive assessment of the fixed electrical installation inside a non-domestic or commercial property. Carried out by a NICEIC approved electrician, the inspection covers every consumer unit, distribution board, circuit, earthing arrangement, main and supplementary bonding, residual current device (RCD), and protective device in the building.
The inspector tests each circuit for continuity, polarity, insulation resistance, and earth loop impedance, and verifies that every protective device operates correctly within its design parameters. Any defect found is classified using the standard coding system: C1 (danger present, requires immediate action), C2 (potentially dangerous, requires urgent remediation), C3 (improvement recommended), or FI (further investigation required before a verdict can be reached). The completed written report states whether the installation is satisfactory or unsatisfactory overall.
Unlike a domestic EICR, which is priced by property size and typically covers a single consumer unit, a commercial EICR is priced by the number of consumer units or distribution boards, reflecting the greater complexity of commercial installations. Our NICEIC approved engineers are qualified and insured for non-domestic electrical work across all 33 London boroughs.
Legal requirement: The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 place a duty on employers and self-employed persons to ensure electrical systems are maintained so as to prevent danger. The IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671:2018+A2:2022) recommend that commercial installations are inspected and tested at intervals not exceeding 5 years, with many commercial leases and insurance policies requiring a shorter cycle.
Who needs a commercial EICR?
Any landlord, employer, or occupier responsible for a non-domestic electrical installation has a duty to ensure it is maintained safely. In practice, this means a periodic commercial EICR is required for a wide range of premises and building types.
Commercial landlords
Landlords of retail units, offices, warehouses, and mixed-use buildings must demonstrate that the electrical installation in their premises is safe at the point of letting and throughout the tenancy.
HMO and block landlords
Where an HMO has commercial common parts, entrance lobbies, stairwells, or shared facilities that are not covered by domestic EICR rules, a commercial EICR is required for those areas.
Mixed-use buildings
Buildings that combine residential upper floors with ground-floor commercial units require separate EICRs for each distinct installation, a domestic EICR for the flats, a commercial EICR for the commercial supply.
Business occupiers
Employers are responsible for the electrical installation in premises they occupy. Where the lease places maintenance responsibility on the occupier, periodic EICR testing is required alongside the landlord's obligations.
Care homes and schools
Care homes, schools, and other regulated premises face additional inspection requirements and shorter recommended test intervals under sector-specific guidance. A commercial EICR forms the foundation of ongoing electrical safety management.
Leisure and hospitality
Restaurants, cafes, gyms, and leisure facilities use high-load electrical equipment intensively. A regular commercial EICR is essential for fire risk management and public liability insurance purposes.
What does a commercial EICR inspect?
A commercial EICR is a methodical, circuit-by-circuit inspection and test of the complete fixed electrical installation. The scope is defined by BS 7671 and covers the following elements.
- Consumer units and distribution boards, condition of enclosures, labelling, protection ratings, and accessibility
- Protective devices, correct rating and type of circuit breakers, fuses, and RCDs for each circuit
- Earthing and main protective bonding, continuity, conductor sizing, and compliance with current regulations
- Supplementary bonding, equipotential bonding in bathrooms, kitchens, and areas with simultaneous access to earth
- Wiring systems, condition of cables, containment, and segregation from other services
- Circuits, continuity, polarity, insulation resistance, and earth loop impedance on every circuit
- RCD functionality, trip-time testing to confirm operation within the required 40ms or 300ms limits
- Fixed equipment, visual inspection of luminaires, socket outlets, switches, and permanently connected equipment
Every defect and observation is recorded on the EICR schedule of inspections and schedule of circuit details, which are provided to you alongside the condition report. The report is issued in PDF format and emailed within 24 hours.

Understanding your report
EICR condition codes, explained
Your EICR certificate uses standardised observation codes to classify any issues found during the inspection. Here is what each code means for your commercial premises:
- C1Danger present — Immediate risk to safety. Must be addressed urgently before the installation can be used.
- C2Potentially dangerous — Could become dangerous. Remedial action required as soon as possible.
- C3Improvement recommended — Not dangerous but could be improved to meet current standards.
- FIFurther investigation — More investigation needed to determine the extent of the issue.
Commercial EICR pricing
Pricing is fixed by the number of consumer units or distribution boards. Each consumer unit price covers up to 12 circuits. Additional circuits are charged at £10 per circuit over 12.

What our commercial clients say
“I’ve now used this company four times and can honestly say they’ve been brilliant from start to finish.
I originally found them after being let down repeatedly by another company (to the point where I’m now having to take legal action), so I was understandably very nervous about using someone new. I’m so glad I chose them.
They’ve carried out EICRs, Fire Risk Assessments, a substantial package of follow-on fire safety works, and I’ve now booked them again for another Fire Risk Assessment, EICR and an Asbestos Management Survey.
Every member of the team has been incredibly responsive, professional and helpful. They’re always happy to answer questions, no matter how many you have, and they never make you feel like you’re a burden. Communication has been excellent throughout, which is something I really value.
On the larger follow-on works, they initially quoted two days to complete the job but actually finished it in just over one day, which was a fantastic surprise. Although I wasn’t present during the Fire Risk Assessment at one of the blocks, one of the directors there commented on how friendly and helpful their surveyor was. One of my own team members, who met him on site, said exactly the same.
Overall, I’m genuinely impressed with the quality of their work, their professionalism and how easy they are to deal with. They’ve gone above and beyond on every project we’ve given them, and they’ll continue to be my first choice for compliance work. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”
“Spot on service from John from start to finish. Booked an EICR online and the engineer turned up right on time. Certificate sent over the next morning.”
