What electrical scope should be identified at a commercial handover?

At a commercial handover, identify the premises, the contacts and the electrical extent before you ask for an inspection. The lease is not interpreted here.

Reviewed 6 October 2026 by Michael (Technical Supervisor) and George Opsenica (Director, Codeex Maintenance Ltd). General guidance, not a reading of your own report and not legal advice.

Review details
  • Michael: electrical guidance within the recorded review scope.
  • George Opsenica: service information and presentation.

Identify the scope first

Commercial EICR pricing is a manual quotation.

  1. 1. Premises

    Name the premises and the areas included, such as the shop floor, the office, a store or a plant space, where those areas are part of this handover.

  2. 2. Contacts

    Name the incoming contact and the outgoing contact, and say who can open the premises.

  3. 3. Old report

    If an earlier report exists, say which areas it covered and the date on it.

  4. 4. Boards

    List the distribution boards you know about, and say where they are.

  5. 5. Changes

    Say whether you know of alterations, added circuits, or a board that was moved.

  6. 6. Access

    Say which areas are locked, and which supplies the site says must stay on.

  7. 7. The request

    Say whether you are asking for a new inspection, or asking about a report you already hold.

What an older report does not decide

An earlier report describes the extent inspected at that time. It does not, by itself, describe work carried out afterwards.

A board that was added or moved should be named, so it can be included in the extent or left outside it.

Ask your legal or property adviser to confirm lease responsibilities, repairing obligations and who should instruct the inspection.

The difference between a condition report and an installation certificate is a separate explanation. This handover list does not repeat it.

Request it as a commercial inspection

Send the list with the commercial EICR enquiry. That service remains the place to request the inspection.

Name the premises, the contacts and the boards.

The commercial service is where the inspection is requested.
