Professional EICR Testing in Birmingham
An EICR is a formal inspection of your fixed electrical installation, carried out to BS 7671, that records the condition of your wiring, earthing, bonding and protective devices.
We test every circuit, identify any damage, defects or non-compliances, and issue a clear report with classification codes and a remedial plan where work is needed.
Key Features Included:
- Visual inspection of the consumer unit, accessories, cables and bonding throughout the property.
- Dead testing: continuity, insulation resistance and polarity on every circuit.
- Live testing: earth fault loop impedance and RCD/RCBO operation times.
- A formal Electrical Installation Condition Report with observations and classification codes.
