Electrical Installation Condition Reports, often referred to as EICRs, assess the safety and condition of a building’s electrical installation. Care Projects provides professional EICR testing for organisations across Plymouth, Devon and Cornwall including care homes, healthcare facilities, supported living organisations, schools and nurseries.
Regular inspection and testing helps identify potential electrical hazards, deterioration or damage before they become serious safety risks. Our engineers provide clear reporting and practical recommendations to help organisations maintain safe and compliant buildings.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a formal inspection of the fixed wiring within a building. During the inspection our engineers assess the condition of circuits, protective devices and electrical accessories to ensure they remain safe to use.
The inspection identifies potential issues such as damaged wiring, overloaded circuits, inadequate protection or deterioration caused by age and environmental conditions.
Once testing has been completed, a report is produced outlining the condition of the installation and highlighting any areas requiring attention.
Electrical installations naturally deteriorate over time due to wear, environmental conditions and general use. Without periodic inspection and testing, faults may develop that present a risk of electric shock, equipment failure or fire.
Regular EICR testing helps identify issues early, allowing organisations to plan maintenance and remedial works before they become serious safety risks.
EICR inspections are commonly carried out in buildings where electrical safety is critical. Care Projects regularly supports organisations including:
These environments require dependable electrical systems to ensure buildings remain safe for residents, staff and visitors.
Care Projects understands that many of the buildings we work in remain fully occupied during testing. Our engineers plan inspections carefully to ensure works are carried out safely while minimising disruption to residents, staff and daily operations.
Following inspection and testing, we provide clear reports and practical recommendations to help clients understand the condition of their electrical installation and plan any necessary remedial works.
Care Projects provides electrical inspection, testing and life safety system servicing for organisations responsible for maintaining safe environments for residents, staff and visitors.

During an EICR inspection an electrician will examine the main components of the electrical installation including the consumer unit, circuits, earthing and bonding, sockets, lighting circuits and other fixed electrical equipment.
Electrical tests are carried out to confirm that protective devices operate correctly and that the installation remains safe.
The recommended frequency for electrical inspection depends on the type of building and how the installation is used. Buildings where safety is critical, such as care environments and commercial premises, should have electrical installations inspected periodically to ensure they remain safe and compliant.
Regular inspections help identify issues early and reduce the risk of electrical faults developing.
Observations made during an inspection are recorded using classification codes which indicate the level of urgency.
C1 – Danger present
Immediate action is required because there is a risk of injury.
C2 – Potentially dangerous
Urgent remedial work is required to prevent the issue from becoming dangerous.
C3 – Improvement recommended
The installation could be improved to meet current standards but the issue is not considered dangerous.
FI – Further investigation required
Additional inspection is needed to determine the cause of an unusual test result.
If an inspection identifies C1, C2 or FI observations, remedial work will normally be required to ensure the installation is safe. Once the necessary work has been completed, the relevant circuits can be re tested and the report updated.
Care Projects can provide clear recommendations and support organisations in planning any required remedial works.
