Benefits of EICR

Components of EICR

Inspection

During our EICR testing in Cornwall, our experienced and qualified electricians inspect various electrical appliances, inspecting the integrity of wiring, sockets, switches, and other fixtures.

Testing

Testing procedures are also included in our EICR. Our specialists use techniques like earth continuity, insulation resistance, and polarity, as well as testing circuit breakers and RCDs.

Identification of Issues

If any issue is identified, it is documented and categorised by us according to its severity. This allows customers to understand the condition of the electrical system effectively. These are the classification codes which are used:

  • Code C1(Danger Present): This indicates a severe issue that needs urgent attention to prevent harm.
  • Code C2(Potentially Dangerous): Shows the issue that can cause potential injury.
  • Further Investigation (FI): Further investigation required without delay.
  • Code C3(Improvement Recommended): It is used where improvements are needed, but the issue doesn’t pose a threat.

A thorough report is generated by our certified electricians, who detail everything related to the condition of electrical installations and specify the recommended actions.
