  1. What Is Domestic Electrical Installation Certificate? You can ask for an Electrical Safety Certificate after an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) has been carried out on a property. A valid Electrical Safety Certificate or EICR certificate needs should be up to date, with new inspections mandatory for domestic properties and for industrial/commercial properties. It is a landlord’s or business owner's responsibility to keep their properties/workplaces safe and having an Electrical Safety Certificate is a crucial part of this. Domestic electrical installation certificates in Northwood are a form of test certificate provided by a qualified and competent electrician or another competent person that has the power to demonstrate that the electrical installation, wiring, and fuses are compliant with the current required standards. Electrical faults are a matter of concern as they can result in fires putting lives at risk. If electrical installations are not regularly inspected and compliant, there may be a risk of major incidents. You can get an Electrical Installation Certificate from registered electricians. They must inspect the new or existing installation or any work that affects the electrical circuits, otherwise, Estate agents will not accept the electrical certificate. It is important to remember that the certificate depends on the type of installation or inspection required. There are two main types of electrical certification, including EICs which are also known as

  2. Electrical Installation Certificates, and MEIWCs which stands for Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificates. The EIC certificate shows the condition of the installation at the time of the inspection whether satisfactory or unsatisfactory. If the electrician thinks the installation is classed as satisfactory, they need to list all of the potential improvements for it to fulfill the satisfactory requirements.
