When a house is to be sold, an authorised electrician often makes an electrical installation report. Here are the rules from the executive order and the Danish Business Authority's handbook version 20 (sik.dk): who may make the report, the four possible answers, which rules the installation is assessed against, and reports for common property.
What is an electrical installation report?
The electrical installation report is part of the house inspection scheme. It states to what extent the building's electrical installations are functional and lawful (BEK 626 § 3). The buyer gets a picture of the installation, and the seller can limit their liability. An administration fee of DKK 77 is paid per report (§ 2(3)).
Who may make it?
- 01An authorised electrical contractor with a responsible manager whose main occupation it is, or a company with partial authorisation for dwellings (§ 4).
- 02The company must be registered in the scheme.
- 03The company must have liability insurance covering at least 5 years after the handover, but at most 6 years. The insurance is documented every 3 years.
- 04The responsible manager must ensure that the report work follows the executive order (BEK 722 § 10(2)).
