Certifying Your New Electrical Work
Whenever you install a new circuit, change a consumer unit, or rewire a property, safety isn’t just a preference—it’s the law. An Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) is the official document confirming that your new electrical work meets the strict safety standards of BS 7671. At Property Safety , our Part P registered electricians ensure your home improvements are safe, compliant, and fully certified.
Why Choose Safety Property?
Part P Registered: We are fully authorized to self-certify our work and notify Building Control on your behalf.
Renovation Experts: From kitchen extensions to full house rewires, we handle the testing and certification seamlessly.
Digital Certificates: Don’t lose your paperwork. We send secure, digital PDF certificates immediately upon completion.
Service Standards:
Rigorous Testing: We test insulation resistance, earth fault loop impedance, and RCD tripping times on all new work.
Building Control Notification: We handle the legal notification process with your local council, saving you time and fees.
6-Year Warranty: Our work is often backed by an insurance-backed warranty for your peace of mind.
Legal Requirement
Under Part P of the Building Regulations, all major electrical work in a home (like a new fuse box or new circuit) must be certified. Without an EIC, your local council can force you to redo the work.
Selling Your Home
When you sell your property, solicitors will ask for the EIC for any electrical work done since 2005. Having this certificate prevents delays and price reductions during the sale process.
Safety Verification
An EIC proves that the new wiring isn't just "working"—it's safe. We verify that the cables are the right size and that the safety devices will trip instantly if a fault occurs.
Insurance Validated
If a fire is caused by new wiring that was never certified, your home insurance policy may be void. An EIC is your proof that the installation was done by a competent professional.

What is an EIC?
It is important not to confuse an EIC with an EICR.
EIC (Electrical Installation Certificate): Used for NEW work. Examples include installing a new consumer unit, adding a new circuit for a cooker, or a full house rewire. It certifies that the new installation is safe at the time it was put in.
EICR: Used for inspecting EXISTING electrics (like an MOT).
When is an EIC Required?
Not every electrical job needs a full EIC, but “notifiable” works definitely do. Skipping this step is a breach of Building Regulations.

Common Questions
FAQs About Residential EICs
Homeowners often get confused between the different electrical certificates. Here are the answers to the most common questions about certifying new work.
Generally, no. An electrician should only sign an EIC for work they have designed, installed, and tested. We cannot sign off on DIY work or work done by a cowboy builder. If the work is already done, you would need an EICR (Condition Report) instead.
An EIC doesn't "expire," but it usually recommends the date for the next inspection (usually 10 years for a home, or 5 years if rented). It is proof of safety at the date of installation.
For small jobs that don't add a new circuit (like adding an extra socket to an existing ring main or changing a light fitting), we issue a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate (MEIWC) instead of a full EIC.
If you use Safety Property, no. We are registered competent persons. We notify Building Control on your behalf, and they will send you a "Building Regulations Compliance Certificate" in the post automatically.
