About this sector

Commercial electrical work is separated from domestic by scale, by three-phase supply, and by the compliance trail: an EICR that will stand up, certificates filed correctly, and work that will pass an insurer’s inspection.

The Guide checks registration status directly rather than taking a logo on a website as evidence, because lapsed registrations are common and the logo rarely comes down.

Questions about commercial electricians

How often does a commercial property need an EICR?

The standard guidance is at least every five years for most commercial premises, and more frequently for higher-risk environments: three years for industrial units, annually for construction sites and some public entertainment venues, and at change of occupancy. Insurers frequently set their own interval as a policy condition, and that condition overrides the general guidance, so check the policy rather than assuming five years.

What does NICEIC approval actually mean?

NICEIC Approved Contractor status means the contractor has been assessed on their technical competence, their equipment, their staff and a sample of their completed work, and is reassessed periodically. It is not a one-off qualification. It matters because it is the assessment scheme most commercial insurers and landlords recognise, and because approved contractors can self-certify notifiable work. Registration can lapse, so it is worth checking the contractor’s number on the NICEIC register rather than trusting the badge on their van.
