Commercial Property EICR Manchester: Inspection Planning
Define Installation Boundaries
Confirm the distribution boards, circuits and areas included. In leased or shared buildings, distinguish tenant, landlord and communal installations before agreeing the scope.
Agree Access & Isolation
Identify who can provide access and authorise shutdowns. Discuss essential equipment, occupied rooms and any restrictions on switching supplies off.
Review Existing Records
Share previous EICRs, circuit schedules and alteration records. Confirm any documentation requirements from your agent or insurer before booking.
Portable appliances, machinery, clinical equipment, fire alarms and emergency lighting are not automatically covered by the same inspection. Separate testing requirements must be agreed before booking.
Your EICR Certificate for a Commercial Property
Often called an electrical safety certificate, an EICR records the condition of an existing fixed electrical installation at the time of inspection.
Your report includes:
- Installation details, inspection extent and limitations.
- Relevant inspection schedules and electrical test results.
- Observations, classifications and the overall assessment.
- The recommended interval before the next inspection.
We explain the findings and their priorities. An inspection does not guarantee a satisfactory result, and any additional investigation or repairs are agreed separately.
See our commercial electrical inspection service for the detailed inspection scope.
