The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 (Regulation 4) ↗
Under UK workplace safety law, commercial employers, duty holders, and commercial property owners are legally obligated to maintain electrical systems in a safe condition. Commercial insurance underwriters mandate an accredited 5-year EICR certificate; failing to produce a "Satisfactory" report can invalidate commercial fire and liability insurance policies.
What Is Evaluated During a Commercial EICR London Inspection?
A rigorous Commercial EICR London audit tests main switchboards, sub-distribution circuits, heavy-duty cabling, and protective devices to guarantee operational safety across your workplace.
1. Main 3-Phase Switchboards
Thorough inspection and dead/live testing of incoming supply panels, main isolators, busbar chambers, and heavy-duty switchgear.
2. Sub-Distribution Boards
Testing floor distribution boards, RCD/RCBO trip times, circuit breaker integrity, and proper labeling across all commercial zones.
3. Fixed Wiring & Containment
Auditing steel conduit, trunking, armored SWA cables, and trunking pathways for mechanical protection, earthing, and thermal wear.
4. Emergency Lighting Circuits
Verifying emergency escape lighting supplies, functional test key switches, battery backup operation, and illuminated exit sign wiring.
5. Commercial Plant & Machinery
Testing dedicated electrical feeds for HVAC chillers, commercial air handling units, commercial kitchen equipment, and lifts.
6. Protective Bonding & Earth Continuity
Inspecting main equipotential bonding to incoming water, gas, and structural steel pipes, ensuring low-resistance earth fault loops.
Thermographic Infrared Switchboard Scanning
To detect hidden electrical hazards before failure occurs, CertiVest engineers utilize advanced FLIR thermal imaging cameras during peak loads. This non-invasive diagnostic technique identifies loose electrical connections, overloaded phases, and overheating busbars invisible to the naked eye.
Decoding EICR Observation & Classification Codes
Every commercial defect or non-compliance is categorized under standard BS 7671 classification codes:
Immediate Risk of Injury
Risk of injury is present with immediate danger. Electricians will isolate the affected circuit on the spot and make safe.
Potentially Dangerous
Urgent remedial attention required. Defect poses a potential hazard under fault conditions. Must be repaired quickly.
Improvement Recommended
Does not violate current safety regulations but upgrading will enhance safety and modern installation standards.
Further Investigation
An apparent defect that requires closer examination because full verification was inaccessible during the survey.
