Electrical safety records

Electrical safety records help prove what has been inspected, what has been repaired and what evidence exists if compliance is questioned later.

Key guidance

This page is part of the TESC electrical safety guidance library.

What records should be kept?

  • Electrical Installation Condition Reports.
  • Electrical Installation Certificates.
  • Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificates.
  • Remedial work quotations, invoices and completion evidence.
  • Smoke alarm, emergency lighting and fire alarm maintenance records where relevant.

Why records matter

  • They help landlords and agents demonstrate that electrical safety duties are being managed.
  • They provide a clearer history for future contractors inspecting the same installation.
  • They reduce confusion when properties change tenant, owner, agent or managing contractor.

Online verification

  • A certificate stored only as a PDF can easily be lost, renamed or separated from the property record.
  • An independent register gives clients and agents a clearer route to check whether a record has been filed.
  • TESC records only show certificates filed through the TESC platform.
