Commercial EICR & Remedial Works in Newton Abbot

Datel Electrical was recently contacted by a local business to complete a Commercial EICR in Newton Abbot and rectify identified faults. The initial inspection highlighted multiple safety issues that required urgent attention to ensure compliance and operational safety standards.

What Issues Were Identified?

Our inspection revealed several Category C2 faults, indicating potentially dangerous situations needing urgent remedial action. These included:

• Exposed single insulation on cables
• IP rating faults due to trunking holes and broken accessories
• Loose or damaged electrical accessories, including sockets and isolators
• Improperly earthed SWA cables
• Incorrect circuit protection ratings
• Missing or damaged cable containment systems

In total, the comprehensive EICR identified faults across various distribution boards throughout the premises, including the mains area, conference room, and fuel shed.

How Did These Issues Impact The Business?

These electrical safety faults posed significant risks, including potential electric shock hazards, equipment failure, fire hazards, and operational disruptions. The presence of these issues could lead to regulatory non-compliance and posed significant risks to staff, visitors, and property.
