Fixed Wire Testing (EICR) for Commercial & Industrial Sites

Protect Your People. Protect Your Operations. Prove Your Compliance.

Electroglow delivers structured Fixed Wire Testing for warehouses, factories, and commercial facilities across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and the wider East Midlands — with clear coding, fast reporting, and practical remedial support.

Overview

Electrical systems in commercial and industrial environments must be maintained in a safe condition to protect people, operations, and critical equipment.

A Fixed Wire Test — formally known as an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) — provides a detailed assessment of your installation, identifying defects, deterioration, and non-compliance before they become serious safety risks or operational failures.

ElectroGlow’s NICEIC-certified engineers carry out EICR inspections across warehouses, factories, logistics centres, offices, and production facilities, helping businesses meet compliance obligations under:

BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations)
The Electricity at Work Regulations (EAWR)
HSE guidance and insurance requirements

All reports include coded observations (C1–C3, FI) with clear next steps to achieve full compliance.

All works are delivered as part of our specialist Electrical Installation Services

Case Study

Fixed Wire Testing Takeover — Manufacturing Plant, Ripley, Derbyshire

Challenge:

A large manufacturing facility in Ripley required a full Fixed Wire Testing programme after taking over from a national testing provider.

ElectroGlow identified serious gaps in the existing inspection records, including multiple distribution boards that were missing from previous reports and had not been tested or certified.

The site required an urgent compliance-led approach to restore visibility, safety assurance, and insurer confidence.

Solution:

ElectroGlow carried out a comprehensive site-wide EICR inspection, verifying all distribution boards, final circuits, and fixed electrical infrastructure.

Our engineers:

Re-established accurate board schedules and circuit identification

Completed inspection and testing of previously unrecorded equipment

Issued clear coded observations with prioritised remedial actions

Delivered structured reporting for compliance and insurance submission

Results achieved:

128 C2 observations identified and prioritised for urgent corrective works

195 C3 improvements recorded to support long-term compliance planning

Previously missing distribution boards brought back into certification scope

Full visibility restored across the site’s electrical safety status

Clear compliance roadmap delivered for phased upgrades

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our solar and EV solutions.

How often should RCDs be tested?

RCDs should be manually tested every 6 months using the built-in test button. Professional testing and recorded verification is typically required every 1–3 years, depending on site risk level, operational environment, and insurer requirements.

Can RCD testing be carried out during live operations?

Yes. We regularly work within operational commercial and industrial facilities and can phase testing or schedule out-of-hours and weekend works to minimise disruption.

Will RCD testing interrupt power?

Each RCD must briefly trip to confirm correct operation. We coordinate testing with site teams to ensure controlled, minimal impact on protected circuits.

Will the documentation be suitable for insurers and audits?

Yes. All testing is completed to NICEIC standards, with clear reporting and certification suitable for compliance audits, insurers, and internal safety records.

Do you carry out remedial works if defects are identified?

Yes. Where faults or non-compliances are identified, we can complete corrective works efficiently, re-test affected circuits, and issue updated certification.
