What is an Electrical installation certificate?

Electrical Installation Certificate
This is a certificate from an electrician that states that an electrical installation is safe to use at the date and time stated on the certificate. It’s required for all major installations, including consumer units, new circuits, and additional lights/sockets in special locations such as the kitchen or bathroom.
Minor Electrical Works Installation Certificate
This is similar to an EIC but is used when the electrical installation is minor such as additional sockets or light fittings not in a special location.
Electrical Installation Condition Report Required for Landlords
These reports have replaced the previous “periodical electrical report”, but they are essentially the same thing. The law states that a new landlord must get one of these completed before a new tenant moves in. Homeowners purchasing a new home should ideally have one completed too, especially if the property is old and the wiring hasn’t been updated.

You won’t get a certificate as such, but you will receive a condition report.
