Commercial Electrical Compliance Checklist (EICR) for Radstock, Bath & Bristol

If you manage a commercial property, keeping your electrical installation safe and compliant is non‑negotiable. Here’s a practical EICR checklist for sites in Radstock, Bath and Bristol—what to prepare, what the inspection covers, and how to act on the results.

What an EICR is (and why it matters)

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) assesses the safety of fixed wiring and distribution equipment. It helps identify deterioration, damage, overloading and non‑compliance before they become incidents or downtime.

Before the inspection: what to prepare

• Provide access to distribution boards, plant rooms and risers.

• Share previous EICRs, certificates and any recent alterations.

• Confirm operating hours and any critical circuits that need planned shutdowns.

• Identify areas with special risks (kitchens, workshops, outdoor supplies).

What the engineer will check

• Earthing and bonding integrity.

• Protective devices (RCDs/RCBOs/MCBs) and fault protection.

• Circuit loading, signs of overheating and damage.

• Insulation resistance and continuity testing (where appropriate).

Understanding EICR codes

Your report will include observations coded by severity. C1 and C2 items require urgent action; C3 items are improvements recommended; FI means further investigation is needed.

Next steps: turning the report into a plan

• Prioritise C1/C2 remedials to reduce risk and liability.

• Schedule works to minimise disruption (out of hours where needed).

• Keep certificates and remedial evidence for audits and insurers.
