What are the different types of Electrical Safety Certificates?

There are three main types of Electrical Safety Certificate/Reports- the homebuyer’s report, the periodic inspection report, and the landlord’s safety certificate. The homebuyer’s report is an assessment of the property’s electrical installation, carried out by a qualified electrician. It includes an inspection of the fixed wiring and an assessment of any portable electrical appliances. The periodic inspection report is a more comprehensive assessment, conducted at least every 10 years. It includes a visual inspection of the property’s electrical installation, as well as testing of the fixed wiring. The landlord’s safety certificate is issued to landlords and confirms that the property’s electrical installation is safe for tenants to use. Each type of Electrical Safety Certificate/Report has its own specific purpose, but all are important for ensuring the safety of those using the property.
