EICR Inspections and Certification
All workplaces in the UK must have an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR test) conducted on a regular basis. Workplaces that are deemed safe will be awarded an electrical safety certificate.
Failure to provide a safe workplace under the Electrical work regulations 1989 can have serious consequences including decommissioning of the building and financial penalties. An EICR certificate proves your workplace is 100% compliant and safe.
phs Compliance provides you with a complete inspection and certification service carried out by our own nationwide team of fully EICR report qualified electrical engineers.
Employing phs Compliance for your EICR Certification gives you the peace of mind that all work is carried out and authorised by a company of national standing with full industry and regulatory accreditation, which employs all its own EICR certification operatives, and does not use third-party subcontractors or franchisees.
The EICR electrical installation condition report will show whether the electrical installation is in a satisfactory or unsatisfactory condition and will list observations affecting the safety or requiring improvements.

To comply with your duty of care obligations, under the Electrical work regulations 1989, it is recommended that EICR routine checks are conducted on an annual basis as part of the regular electrical PAT testing and fire safety services which phs Compliance is able to provide. The maximum period between inspections should be no longer than 3-5 years depending on industry.
Sometimes referred to as Fixed Wire Inspection and Test, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a legal requirement for every UK workplace or building as stipulated in the Electrical work regulations 1989. It is also recommended by British Standards BS 7671 18th Edition (Regulation 135.1) that every electrical installation is subjected to regular EICR inspections and testing.
All electrical installations must meet the wiring regulations as laid out by the IET (Institution of Engineering and Technology) which has the same status as British Standards.
Irrespective of the age of the installation, in order to ensure compliance with the Electrical work regulations 1989, all electrical installations need to be maintained in a safe condition and must be inspected and tested by a qualified person, such as phs Compliance electrical engineers.
As electrical wiring, sockets, circuits, mains panels and distribution boards can deteriorate or can be damaged, inspection and testing involve rigorous visual and electronic procedures to ensure the compliance of your workplace with statutory responsibilities.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report certifies the in-service condition of an electrical installation against the requirements of the edition of BS 7671 current at the time of the inspection, detecting and reporting any factors impairing or likely to impair the safety of an electrical installation.
