Testing and inspections
At Solar Doctor, your safety is our top priority. Our certified electricians perform all testing and inspections in strict accordance with BS 7671 UK regulations, the national standard for electrical safety. We ensure every electrical system we work on is safe, compliant, and reliable.
02
Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)
An EICR is a vital health check for any property's electrical system, ensuring it is safe, compliant, and free from potential fire or shock hazards. Our certified electricians perform EICRs to UK standards (BS 7671), providing you with peace of mind and proof of safety.
For Domestic Properties:
-
Homeowners: An EICR is recommended every 10 years to ensure your electrical system is well-maintained and safe.
-
Landlords: It is a legal requirement to have a new EICR carried out every 5 years or at the start of a new tenancy.
For Commercial & Industrial Premises:
-
Duty of Care: Businesses must comply with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. An up-to-date EICR is the best way to prove this.
-
Frequency: Inspections are generally required every 5 years, though this can be more frequent (e.g., every 1-3 years) depending on the business environment and usage.
