Getting Your Electrical Safety Certificate In The UK - Everything You Need To Know

Electrical safety is a top priority for businesses and properties of all sizes. And with good reason: An electrical injury can lead to serious health risks, such as burns and even death. 

Fortunately, there are a few simple steps you can take to ensure your business is up to safety standards. Here, we’ll outline everything you need to know about getting your electrical safety certificate in the UK. From the required paperwork to choosing the right certification provider, we’ve got you covered.


What Is An Electrical Safety Certificate, And What Does It Cover?

Electrical safety certificates (EICR) are an important part of electrical safety in the UK. They certify that a particular electrical installation or product meets specific safety standards.

An electrical safety certificate is mandatory for some types of electrical products, such as domestic wiring and certain types of lighting. You can also get an electrical safety certificate if you want to install a new electrical installation or upgrade an existing one.

An electrical safety certificate can help protect you and other people from possible injuries caused by electric shocks. It can also help ensure that your electrical equipment is safe.

To get an electrical safety certificate in the UK, you need to apply through your local council or fire and rescue service. You will need to provide proof of ownership of the electrical equipment being installed and evidence that the installation meets the relevant safety standards.


Who Can Get You An Electrical Safety Certificate?

To obtain an electrical safety certificate in the UK, you will need to have a valid CEN/TS 16949:2012 certification. This document will outline your company’s safe electrical practices and demonstrate that the company meets all required safety standards. Additionally, many companies require employees to complete an OSHA 1910.147 Electrical Safety Training program before being granted an electrical safety certificate.


What’s Included In An Electrical Safety Certificate?

An electrical safety certificate is a document that verifies that your electrical installation complies with all UK safety regulations. The certificate includes an overview of the electrical installation, as well as specific checks for safety. A safety inspector will review your certificate and make any necessary corrections or modifications.


What Are The Requirements For Applying For An Electrical Safety Certificate?

There are a few requirements that need to be met in order to apply for an electrical safety certificate. The applicant must have a competent person in charge of the installation and maintenance of all electrical equipment, have a written procedure for inspections and tests, and keep records of inspection activities.


What Happens If You Don’t Have An Electrical Safety Certificate?

If you don’t have an electrical safety certificate, you may be fined up to £5,000. You could also face a prison sentence if you’re found guilty of any electrical safety breaches.

To get your electrical safety certificate in the UK, you first need to apply. The application process can take between four and six weeks, depending on the time of year. Once you’ve been approved, your recruitment company will arrange for a training course to be delivered to you. If you’re already an electrician or qualified in another Electrical trade, your training course may be shorter or not require any attendance at all.

Once you’ve completed your training, it’s important that you keep up to date with updates and changes to the Electrical Safety Regulations 2008. Failure to do so could lead to sanctions from the regulator.


Cost Of Getting An Electrical Safety Certificate

Getting your electrical safety certificate (EICR) in the UK is a straightforward process that can be completed in just a few hours. The cost of getting an ESC varies depending on the type of certificate you require but generally ranges from £60 to £120.

The required documents and materials vary depending on the type of Electrical Safety Certificate you are applying for, but most people will need to provide proof of insurance or proof of funding, copies of their installation and maintenance certificates, and a copy of their building permit. Once you have gathered all the required documents, you can take them to your local authority or certification body to submit your application.


Benefits Of Getting An Electrical Safety Certificate In The UK

    If there is an accident involving the equipment, having an electrical safety certificate will provide evidence that the equipment was tested and is safe to use. This will help to avoid further damage or injury.
