What if the EICR identifies any electrical faults?

An EICR will show whether the electrical installation in your premises is in a satisfactory or unsatisfactory condition. If your electrical installation is deemed unsatisfactory then the report will identify defects within the installation that need to be rectified in order to make the installation satisfactory.

If any issues are identified in your EICR, phs Compliance can support by completing any recommended remedial work. This means your business can benefit from the convenience of working with a single supplier for all electrical inspection, testing, and maintenance works.
