Electrical installation condition

Fixed-wire testing for commercial premises.

Understand the condition of your building's fixed electrical installation. We plan commercial EICR inspections around access and operations, explain the findings and help property teams organise agreed remedials across Norwich, Norfolk and East Anglia.

A complete service

Technical quality, with clear communication.

An EICR should support clear decisions. We explain significant observations, separate the inspection report from any quoted remedials and retain the relevant records for your building or estate.

What is included

Specialist support, built around the property.

Plan the inspection

We establish the installation details, available drawings and previous reports, plus access and isolation requirements for the premises.

  • Existing records review
  • Site and tenant coordination
  • Testing scope

Inspect and report against BS 7671

We assess the existing installation against BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. The EICR records the inspection scope, limitations, observations and test results so managers can prioritise remedials and plan the next inspection.

  • Distribution and circuits
  • Recorded scope and limitations
  • Test results and observations

Act on findings

We can explain the report and quote separately for agreed remedial work, followed by appropriate testing and documentation.

  • Priority discussion
  • Remedial scope
  • Follow-on evidence

Commercial electrical compliance

BS 7671 Amendment 4:2026 and your commercial EICR

Our team is prepared for Amendment 4 inspection and reporting, helping Norfolk and East Anglia building managers plan their electrical compliance programmes.

The reference edition: BS 7671:2018+A4:2026 was published on 15 April 2026. The preceding BS 7671:2018+A2:2022+A3:2024 version is withdrawn on 15 October 2026; EICRs from that date use Amendment 4.

What matters for your premises: changes cover energy-storage batteries, ICT functional earthing, Power over Ethernet and medical locations. Their relevance depends on the site's equipment and use. Share previous reports, circuit schedules, alterations, critical systems and permitted isolation times so the inspection scope can be agreed.

Condition comes first: an older installation does not become unsafe simply because a new amendment is published. The EICR considers continued safe use within its stated scope and limitations. Findings and actual risks inform the next steps.

Read the correct report format: Amendment 4 separates C1/C2 observations, which make the overall assessment unsatisfactory, from advisory C3/FI observations. Further investigation should still be considered; compare earlier reports using the amendment recorded on each.

Official guidance: IET edition and transition guidance and NICEIC Amendment 4 reporting guidance.

Planning your inspection

Preparing for a commercial fixed-wire quotation

Share the information you have so we can discuss the premises and agree an appropriate inspection scope.

  • The premises location and building use.
  • Previous EICRs, drawings and installation records, where available.
  • The areas or installations you want inspected.
  • Access arrangements and operational restrictions.
  • When planned isolations could be discussed with site contacts.

We review the available information before agreeing the inspection scope. The EICR records that scope, any limitations, observations and test results. Remedial work is discussed and quoted separately from the inspection.

Helpful answers

Questions about commercial fixed-wire testing.

Is fixed-wire testing the same as an EICR?+

Fixed-wire testing is commonly used to describe inspection and testing of a building's fixed electrical installation; the resulting condition report is an EICR.

Can work be planned in an occupied building?+

Yes. We discuss access, isolations and disruption before arranging the inspection.

How often is a commercial EICR needed?+

The interval depends on the installation, its use and condition, the previous report and the relevant guidance. We can review your existing records and help plan the next inspection.

What is included in the EICR report?+

The EICR records the agreed inspection scope, any limitations, observations and test results. We explain the findings so you can plan the next steps. Any remedial work is discussed and quoted separately from the inspection.

When does BS 7671 Amendment 4 apply to commercial EICRs?+

BS 7671:2018+A4:2026 is the current reference for EICRs from 15 October 2026, when the preceding version is withdrawn. Our team is prepared to inspect and report to Amendment 4.

Does Amendment 4 mean an older installation automatically fails?+

No. An earlier installation is assessed for continued safe use within the recorded scope and limitations. The publication of a newer standard alone does not make it unsafe or require wholesale replacement.

How does FI affect an Amendment 4 EICR?+

In the Amendment 4 report, C1 and C2 findings make the assessment unsatisfactory. C3 and FI are advisory and do not themselves change the overall assessment. Further investigation still needs due consideration; the report's amendment must be clear.
