Fixed Wire Testing (EICR)
Fixed Wire Testing, often called an Electrical Installation Condition Report or EICR, is a detailed check of your building's electrics. It confirms that your system is safe to use, meets current standards and is working correctly in line with BS 7671.
This inspection helps spot faults, damage and risks early. It also makes sure your site stays compliant with legal requirements.
What Is Included In An EICR?
The inspection covers all fixed electrical systems within your property. This includes wiring, fuse boards, circuits and connected components.
TISS Electrical engineers carry out careful checks and full testing to assess the condition of your installation.
You will receive a report with clear results:
- C1 highlights a serious risk that needs urgent action.
- C2 shows a potential issue that should be resolved soon.
- C3 suggests improvements that are not critical but still worth doing.
- FI means further investigation is required.
After the report is issued, we will speak with you to go through the findings so everything is easy to understand.
When Should Testing Be Carried Out?
Testing intervals depend on how the property is used.
Commercial and industrial buildings are usually checked every five years.
Rental properties must also be tested every five years by law.
For owner occupied homes, testing is normally recommended every ten years.
What To Expect On The Day
We begin with a visual check to look for signs of damage or poor condition.
We then carry out electrical tests such as checking insulation, earthing and circuit performance. Once complete, you receive a clear report along with advice on any action needed.
Repairs And Next Steps
If issues are found, we can complete the required repairs without delay. This may involve fixing wiring, replacing outdated parts or improving safety measures like bonding.
We provide clear costs, simple guidance and updated documentation so you remain compliant and inspection ready.
