Electrical compliance checklist

Electrical compliance is easier to manage when the required documents, inspection dates, remedial evidence and contractor details are kept together in a clear property record.

Key guidance

Use this page as part of a wider electrical safety record, especially where EICRs, remedial works, certificates and contractor records need to be checked later.

Core electrical records

Current Electrical Installation Condition Report.
Electrical Installation Certificates for new circuits or replacement consumer units.
Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificates for smaller alterations.
Remedial work invoices, photographs and completion notes.
Contractor details, report references and filing references.

Landlord and agent checks

Check whether the EICR is still within date.
Review whether the report is satisfactory or unsatisfactory.
Confirm that C1, C2 and FI observations have been actioned.
Keep evidence of remedial work with the original report.
Make sure records are available when tenants, agents or enforcement bodies ask for them.

Ongoing management

Set renewal reminders well before the EICR expires.
Re-check records when a property changes tenant, agent or owner.
Keep a single compliance file for each property.
Use online register records where certificates have been filed with TESC.

Keep electrical safety records traceable

TESC guidance supports safer properties, clearer compliance records and better follow-up where electrical safety issues are identified.

Where an EICR has been filed through TESC, the EICR Register can help landlords, agents, tenants and contractors check the recorded certificate status.
