EICR Frequency Discussion ThreadEICR Frequency Electrical Advice
Asking for a friend who works in the health and safety sector, was asking me about the proper time intervals for EICRs in commercial and industrial settings.
I had a look in BS7671 and I see ( Reg 652.1 ) that it doesn't give specific timescales for various settings, only general guidance.
I found this video online (the veracity of which I cannot be sure) which seems to suggest 3 years for factories, and for some commericial premesis like offices, every 5 years.

I wondered if anyone might be able to confirm whether these timescales are accurate, and where they come from, if not BS7671 (perhaps it is elsewhere in the regs but I would have thought it would be in this part of section 6, if anywhere). To be fair I haven't checked in Guidance note 3, maybe there's info in there about it.
I see some other related threads on here about this subject, but nothing pertaining specifically to EICR frequency in terms of commercial and industrial
TIA
