Licensed Electrician Certification with full support

The LEC (Licensed Electrician Certification) is a document that certifies that each electrical installation in a property is acceptable and safe for use. It must be provided for each property. Every house or company requires a Licensed Electrician Certification, which can be issued by qualified electricians, mechanical engineers, and electrical installers. The LEC document must be submitted to HEDNO.

An initial inspection, monthly re-inspection, and special inspections are required to ensure the Indoor Electrical Installations operate properly. Those inspections are conducted in line with the requirements of the legislation, and the LEC for the indoor electrical installation is prepared. Inspections and the granting of the LEC are required in the following situations:

• Initial electrification
• Change of category or use
• Change of occupants in business and recreational establishments
• A modification to the electrical installation
• In the event of a grave accident involving the electrical installation
• Natural events that cause damage to the indoor installation
• Reconnection of the supply after a power outage
• In case of an inspection by a competent authority
• The maximum period applicable to each kind of property has elapsed

In case of first electrification or reconnection, during his visit to the customer's premises, the certified technician will issue a temporary LEC (not finalized) following the relevant legislation. After HEDNO has electrified the property, a further visit is required within 45 days to issue the final (finalized) LEC. The cost of service is applied separately to the provisional and final LEC.

The intervals at which the LEC must be renewed are determined by the property's type. More specifically:

• Residential and similar premises: 10 years
• Commercial/professional premises: 5 years
• Public and ecreational establishments, as well as outdoor business electrical systems: 2 years

The categories of each property are presented in Annex II of the Official Gazette (in Greek).

The Consumer may be informed of the expiry date of the LEC in the following ways:

• The form of the LEC supplied to the consumer by the person in charge of writing up the certificate
• Call the HEDNO's call center at 800-400-4000
