Service Questions & Answers
What is the difference between C1, C2, and C3 defect codes on an EICR?
C1 indicates 'Danger Present' requiring immediate action. C2 indicates 'Potentially Dangerous' requiring urgent remedial work. C3 means 'Improvement Recommended' for best practice. A report with any C1 or C2 receives an 'Unsatisfactory' overall rating.
How often does my commercial property legally require an EICR?
Commercial premises typically require testing every 5 years, while industrial installations subject to heavy dust, vibration, or moisture typically require testing every 3 years.
Can testing be conducted outside of normal business hours?
Yes, we regularly conduct commercial and industrial testing overnight or during weekends to avoid disrupting day-to-day operations and computing systems.
