EICRs in Birmingham

During EICR inspections, electricians go through wirings, fuse boards, and other electrical accessories in your system. They determine whether these components are functioning properly. If issues are identified, electricians will assess if they pose a risk to the people living or working in the property.

A C1 rating is given to installations with immediate risks to people. This is an unsatisfactory grade in the report. At times, the electrician conducting the inspection may need to deal with the issue themselves to reduce the risk.

A C2 rating means there are dangers present but not as risky or immediate as a C1. The issues here need to be dealt with as soon as possible, too.

When a C3 rating is given, the installation needs some fixes to keep with regulations but there are no issues dangerous enough to merit urgent action. The report may still get a satisfactory grade even with a C3 rating.

A rating of F1 simply means further investigation is needed and that the information gathered at the moment is not yet sufficient to make a conclusion.
