Local Compliance Information — Bedfordshire
Enforcement Note:Bedford Borough and Central Bedfordshire councils enforce the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, requiring all landlords to hold a valid EICR. Commercial properties are subject to the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
What's included in an EICR inspection?
Distribution Boards & Protective Devices
Every consumer unit and distribution board inspected for correct labelling, adequate IP rating, and proper discrimination. RCDs tested for trip time and operating current.
- RCD trip time testing (30mA within 300ms)
- MCB and RCBO verification
- Circuit chart accuracy checks
Earthing & Bonding Verification
Earth fault loop impedance (Zs) measured at every circuit to verify protective devices will operate within disconnection times.
- Zs measurements at every point
- Main protective bonding checks
- Ze measurement at origin
Circuit Testing & Insulation Resistance
Every circuit tested for insulation resistance (minimum 1MΩ at 500V DC) to identify cable degradation, moisture ingress, or damaged insulation.
- Insulation resistance testing (IR)
- Continuity of protective conductors
- Polarity verification
Understanding EICR Classification Codes
C1 — Danger Present
An immediate risk of injury exists. The defect must be rectified or made safe immediately. Examples include exposed live conductors, absent earthing, or failed protective devices.
C2 — Potentially Dangerous
A fault that could become dangerous under certain conditions. Urgent remedial work is required, typically within 28 days. Common examples include overloaded circuits or deteriorated wiring.
C3 — Improvement Recommended
Not immediately dangerous, but an upgrade would improve safety. C3 items alone will not result in an unsatisfactory report — they are recommendations for future improvement.
FI — Further Investigation Required
The inspector has identified an area requiring additional investigation before a final classification can be assigned — often involving concealed wiring or inaccessible areas.

What Our Clients Say

Milton Keynes · Local Guide
First class service. From the moment we got in touch with ProConform it was obvious this was a professional company who took the time to understand our requirements. Their service has been excellent, with minimum impact to our day to day operations and taken the overhead of our compliance obligations.

I asked ProConform to help turn my garage into a space for the dogs — somewhere to hose them down and keep them warm afterwards. They installed a new consumer unit, added lighting and a couple of sockets, and the finish is really tidy. Communication was clear from start to finish, they arrived when they said they would, and they tested everything before leaving. The workmanship is spot on and the place was left clean.

Excellent work, provided a full explanation of what was required and delivered the work at a time that was suitable to our business. Highly recommend.

London · Verified Customer
I've used Richard three times now, and each experience has been outstanding. Most recently, he installed an induction hob and replaced a wired bathroom mirror. As with previous work — including replacing our garden lights and installing a power supply for an awning — everything was completed on time and to an exceptional standard. Richard's attention to detail, professionalism, and skill are second to none.
Frequently Asked Questions — EICR Testing in Bedfordshire
How often does a commercial property in Bedfordshire need an EICR?
Commercial properties typically require an EICR every 5 years under BS 7671. The previous inspector may recommend a shorter interval depending on the condition of the installation. Certain environments in Bedfordshire such as industrial units or properties with high electrical demand may need more frequent inspection.
What do C1, C2, C3 and FI codes mean on an EICR report?
C1 indicates danger present requiring immediate action. C2 means potentially dangerous and requires urgent remedial work. C3 is an improvement recommended but not immediately dangerous. FI means further investigation is required. A C1 or C2 finding results in an unsatisfactory EICR.
Can I continue operating my Bedfordshire premises with an unsatisfactory EICR?
An unsatisfactory EICR with C1 or C2 codes means the installation has dangerous or potentially dangerous faults. You have a legal duty under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 to maintain safe electrical systems. The responsible person must arrange remedial works — typically immediately for C1 and within 28 days for C2.
What documentation do I receive after the inspection?
You receive a full Electrical Installation Condition Report compliant with BS 7671, including schedule of inspections, schedule of test results, and a summary of observations with classification codes. A PDF copy is provided for your records.
