Declaration of Conformity for Your Electrical Installation
After electrical work has been completed, you want to be confident that your installation has been set up safely and in accordance with applicable regulations. A certificate of conformity from Markus Techniek provides you with written confirmation of this. Are you looking for a certificate of completion for your electrical installation? If so, an InstallQ certificate of conformity may be the document you need.
Why is a declaration of conformity useful?
A declaration of conformity can help you document your electrical installation. For example:
- In the event of damage or an insurance claim: you can show what work was performed and by which contractor. A statement alone does not guarantee compensation.
- When selling your home: you can provide the new owner with information about the work that has been done.
- In the event of maintenance or expansion: the statement provides the next installation company with additional information about the work previously performed.
What does the statement say?
The declaration of conformity includes, among other things, the details of the installation company, the location, a description of the relevant installation or work, and the installer’s statement. The declaration applies only to what is expressly stated in it. It is therefore not a general inspection of the entire existing electrical installation.
Is a declaration of conformity required?
For standard electrical work in a home, a certificate of compliance is generally not required by law. However, the installation and the work performed must comply with the applicable safety and building codes. A client or insurer may require additional documentation in specific situations.
How do you apply for a certificate of conformity?
There are two ways to request a declaration of conformity:
- Fill out the InstallQ Consumeter. Indicate that you would like to receive a certificate of conformity.
- Or contact Markus Techniek directly. Please include your invoice or work order number and the address where the work was performed.
