EICR & Yearly Inspection

[Michael J]

recently a contractor offered a client a EICR combined with a yearly inspection for the next year. The yearly inspection was a third of the price of the EICR. What do you think the yearly inspection consists of? It's a commercial installation

Probably a visual only inspection.

Not for a third of the price.

Depends. We do a lot of visuals and it is usually large organisations that may not be working in the buildings.

There is more to a visual inspection than that or should be.

We did a full inspection a few years ago made a note of EOL's identified what was on each circuit so next time we could, if asked only do the arduous circuits and circuits in rotation time would be saved. But this would have to be discussed with the client.

Far comment did not think about that

Yes agree there should be. maybe the op should ask the company what is involved in the yearly checks

What sort of installation? Shop, warehouse, factory etc?
