Electrical installation certificate /
Domestic installation certificate
This is issued to the customer on the completion
of any electrical installation works. It details
the type of works undertaken; any deviations from
the regulations as listed in BS 7671, who designed,
installed and tested the works and when the next
inspection is due.
Periodical test, inspection & report
This is used for the testing of existing electrical
installations that have come up for their next inspections
or for installations that do not have a current
installation certificate. It will detail most if
not all of the deviations that need to be addressed
and will fall into four categories / codes.
• Code 1.
Major deviation from the regulations, immediate
remedial works are required and the system is unsafe
to remain in service in its present condition.
• Code 2.

are required to the electrical installation, this
should be carried out soon and in there, present
condition does not provide immediate danger to life
or property.
• Code 3.

• Code 4.

Minor works certificate
This is used for small works like additional sockets
or lights that are not in special locations. A minor
works certificate cannot be used for the provision
of a new circuit.
