Note: To submit your electronic certificates please click here. If a REC carries out minor electrical works they must be certified if requested by the customer. It is through this certification system that Safe Electric, can monitor and validate that the electrical works completed meet the required safety standards National Rules for Electrical Installations. To facilitate the wide range of electrical works undertaken by RECs, the different types of Completion Certificates are outlined below:.
Whether a homeowner wants to install the latest programmable ceiling fan or a business needs to update its wiring, an electrician will typically be called. Many choose to obtain an electrician certificate because they know they will get the education they need in the shortest amount of time. Most programs share admission requirements, including a high school diploma or GED and an accumulative high school GPA of 2. Keeping hold of these certificates also provides a basis for any further inspection and testing, as they can help save on costly exploratory work which might otherwise be needed in future.
Additionally, in the event of a claim that injury or fire was caused by an electrical installation, certificates are documentary evidence which help show that the installation had been installed to a satisfactory standard of safety. The EIC will indicate whether the electrical work that has been carried out is:. New - where the whole installation has been installed as new, if a complete rewire has been carried out. Addition - applies if an existing installation has been modified by adding one or more new circuits.
Alteration - applies where one or more existing circuits have been modified or extended for example to add a socket , or items such as a consumer unit fusebox and switching equipment have been replaced. If you are carrying out the work yourself, you will need to know what certifications are required and bring in an expert to inspect your work. In this section, we are going to cover different types of certifications.
It is important to note that it is often ultimately the responsibility of the property owner to ensure the correct work is undertaken and the appropriate certificate given.
This certificate applies to minor works as the name says! In situations where this type of certification is necessary, it is a legal requirement, and the issuer of the certificate should always give an original copy of said certificate to the person or business who ordered the work to be done.
There are, of course, nuances to what this certification covers, but as a general example, if you were to have a fixture changed—such as a light fitting replaced or an electrical outlet swapped—it would not need notifying.
However, if you had a light fitting or electrical socket moved and the wiring modified as a result, you would need the work certifying. Electrical work can come in a wide variety of forms, with some not requiring official certification at all. For the works that do require certifying, they are also notifiable. Notifiable works include:.
The property owner is legally responsible for proving that any electrical work carried out meets Part P standards, and local authorities have the power to make property owners remove or alter work that is not up to this standard. In the case of rental properties, a test should be carried out when there is a change of tenancy, regardless of the interval since the last test.
As you might expect, the point of an electrical installation condition report is to ensure the safety of the people living in the property. It is important because so many electrical faults are invisible to the untrained eye, and many electrical problems are just plain invisible no matter how trained your eyes are. An electrical installation certificate is issued to show that a new installation has been installed and complies with Part P regulations.
This will often be issued by the electrician who carried out the installation, but it is also possible to do the work yourself and have a Part P certified electrician inspect the work and issue the certificate after the fact in some cases. Any starting price will likely cover a set number of circuits, with additional circuits pushing the price up further.
