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 following a disconnection, if the previous certification has expired.
• 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
• Using the HEDNO's online platform, click on the following link: LEC check (in Greek)

1. After ordering the service, an authorized PPC partner will contact you within 24 hours to schedule a visit by the contractor's technician.
2. The contractor's specialist will come to your home and take measurements with approved test gear to evaluate your electrical installation.
3. If the technician determines the required parameters are met, he will issue the LEC and submit it to HEDNO. If any flaws or faults are discovered, you will be notified so that you can have them repaired before the certificate is issued. The expert will not perform any repair work as part of the service but will walk you through the process until it is complete.
4. You must present to the technician a Formal Declaration that you will issue through Gov.gr, with the appropriate text for the technician's submission of the LEC to HEDNO. During the visit to your location, the technician will provide you with the necessary text and information for the Solemn Declaration.
5. After sending the Solemn Declaration, the technician will electronically submit the LEC to the HEDNO portal.
6. PPC will oversee the procedure from start to finish, including certificate issuance and submission.
7. The service cost will be charged on the first electricity bill after HEDNO approves the certificate. Payment can be made as a lump sum or in installments through the electricity bill over one year.

The service price is the same for all connections, regardless of location, property size, connection type (single-phase or three-phase), date of the structure, etc. In effect, this means that the price is the same for all properties, regardless of whether they require initial electrification, a change of use, the expiration of an existing YDE, and so on. The question "When is the YDE mandatory?" examines all possible scenarios.

The final charge changes in the case of reconnection (unconnected supplies), but remains the same for each property. In this scenario, the payment includes the cost of issuing both the preliminary and final YDEs, as the electrical installation requires two inspections.
