EICR Testing for Commercial Property
Structured testing programmes for commercial landlords and managing agents.
Your Legal Obligation as a Commercial Landlord
Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, duty holders are responsible for maintaining electrical installations in a safe condition. For commercial property, this means regular Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) — typically every 5 years, or more frequently depending on the environment and use.
An EICR is not a simple pass/fail certificate. It is a detailed assessment of every circuit, distribution board, and protective device within the installation, graded against BS 7671 (the IET Wiring Regulations). The report identifies deficiencies using condition codes — from C1 (danger present, immediate action required) through to FI (further investigation needed).
For managing agents overseeing multi-let commercial buildings, maintaining a structured EICR programme is both a legal requirement and a risk management priority. Ad-hoc testing with different contractors across a portfolio creates gaps in compliance records that are difficult to audit and defend.
Structured Programme Delivery vs Ad-Hoc Testing
The difference between a reactive approach and a structured EICR programme is the difference between compliance on paper and compliance you can evidence under scrutiny. A structured programme means every property in your portfolio has a defined testing schedule, a consistent reporting format, and a clear remedial pathway when deficiencies are found.
Pro Energise delivers EICR testing as a managed programme — not isolated site visits. Each inspection is tracked through our Contracts OS platform, providing real-time programme visibility and digital handover packs, so managing agents have a single view of compliance status across their entire portfolio. When remedial works are identified, they are quoted and scheduled by the same team that conducted the inspection, eliminating the handover delays that occur when testing and remediation are split between contractors.
This is particularly valuable for agents managing portfolios for clients like JLL, Savills, or CBRE, where audit-ready documentation and consistent reporting standards are expected as standard. Read more about our testing and inspection capability.
For a recent example of our multi-site testing capability, see our work with Connells Group — a structured compliance programme across a national branch portfolio with centralised reporting through Contracts OS.
