The Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) according to ELOT EN 60364 is a crucial document for businesses, ensuring the safe and proper operation of electrical installations. Issuing it by experienced engineers in the energy sector is essential for the following reasons:
- Safety: The EIC ensures compliance with strict safety standards, reducing the risk of electric shock, fire, and other accidents.
- Compliance: Issuing a EIC is a mandatory legal requirement for receiving an electricity supply.
- Reliability: Collaborating with experienced engineers ensures a reliable and objective assessment of the electrical installation.
- Quality: The engineers’ expertise guarantees the identification of any defects and the implementation of best practices.
- Preventive Maintenance: The EIC lays the foundation for future preventive maintenance, preventing malfunctions and ensuring the smooth operation of the installation.
- Energy Efficiency: The EIC can contribute to energy savings by identifying and correcting energy-consuming points.
By choosing experienced engineers to issue the EIC such as Renel, businesses ensure a safe, reliable, and efficient electrical system, contributing to the smooth operation and protection of their investment.
The EIC includes a visual inspection and tests to evaluate the electrical installation.
Visual Inspection:
- Examination of protection methods against electric shock
- Selection of conductors, protective devices, and materials
- Diagrams, signs, and information
- Identification of circuits, fuses, and connections
- Access for operation, identification, and maintenance
- Tests and Measurements
Confirmation of the operation of protective devices and installation quality
- Measurements with instruments according to ELOT EN 60364
- Continuity tests of conductors, insulation, circuit separation
- Ground and wall resistance measurements
- Verification of protection conditions, polarity check, function, and voltage drop
- A comprehensive EIC issued by Renel’s engineers ensures the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of the electrical installation, protecting lives, property, and the company’s reputation.
The issuance of the Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) is divided into the following three phases:
In summary:
- Phase 1: Identify and document non-compliances.
- Phase 2: Remediate non-compliances (building owner’s responsibility).
- Phase 3: Issue the Electrical Installation Certificate (ΥΔΕ).
This three-phase process ensures that the electrical installation meets all safety and compliance requirements before it is connected to the electricity grid
