Home chargepoint certificates and hand-over checklist
Collect the complete hand-over record pack. It should include the Electrical Installation Certificate, applicable Building Regulations record, DNO evidence, commissioning record, itemised invoice, warranty and equipment details. Check that names, address, dates, installer, chargepoint model and serial number agree across the records. You may check completeness and consistency, but a registered electrician must interpret results and correct every missing, failed or inconsistent record.

Key facts and evidence
As of 13 August 2026, a UK home chargepoint hand-over should include the Electrical Installation Certificate, applicable Building Regulations evidence, DNO records, commissioning record, invoice, warranty and equipment identity. The owner can check names, address, dates and consistency, but cannot interpret electrical results. Missing, failed or mismatched records return to the installer or responsible body.
Sourced fact
Retain the itemised invoice, warranty, chargepoint model, serial number and manufacturer registration details.
Sourced fact
Names, address, dates, installer identity and equipment details should agree across every document.
Sourced fact
The owner checks completeness only; electrical-result interpretation and correction remain professional tasks.
Collect and cross-check the UK electrical, Building Regulations, DNO, commissioning, invoice, warranty and equipment records at hand-over.
Minimum record pack
Collect the Electrical Installation Certificate for the new work, the applicable national Building Regulations compliance record, DNO application or notification evidence, commissioning record, itemised invoice, warranty, chargepoint model and serial number, manufacturer registration and ordinary user-control demonstration details.
Cross-check identity and completeness
Check that the customer and installer names, property address, work and issue dates, model, serial number and DNO reference agree. Confirm that required sections are present, but leave test-result meaning to the electrician. An EICR is not a substitute for the installer's Electrical Installation Certificate for this new work.
When the pack is incomplete
List each missing or inconsistent record and send it to the party responsible for issuing it. Keep final acceptance open until the electrician, scheme operator, DNO or building-control body supplies a complete response; verbal assurance cannot replace the required record.
What to do next
Use the checklist before final acceptance and keep the complete pack for future maintenance, sale and property records.
Immediate action: Request every missing record and cross-check identity, site and equipment fields before closing the project.
- Withhold final acceptance while a required certificate, DNO record or commissioning record is missing.
- Return failed, unresolved, altered or inconsistent records to the issuing professional or responsible body.
Checks that stay with this vehicle
Collect the Electrical Installation Certificate, applicable building-compliance record and DNO evidence.
The project file contains dated records from the named installer and relevant responsible bodies.
Stop final acceptance if any required core record is absent, incomplete or attributed to another site.
Collect the commissioning record, itemised invoice, warranty, model, serial number and manufacturer registration details.
The installed equipment and commercial support route can be identified from the retained records.
Stop if the equipment identity or warranty terms do not match the installed chargepoint.
Compare names, property address, dates, installer details, model and serial number across the pack.
The records consistently describe one completed installation at the correct property.
Stop if fields are blank, altered, contradictory or refer to another installer, product or address.
Send missing, failed or inconsistent records back to the issuing professional for correction.
The responsible professional or body supplies a complete corrected record or explains the formal resolution route.
Stop the document check if correction would require the owner to alter a certificate or interpret electrical values.
Do not infer from missing evidence
- Keep certificates unaltered and leave all electrical-result interpretation and corrective work to the issuing professional.
Professional hand-off
- Use the registered electrician for certificate or commissioning issues, the scheme or building-control body for compliance records, and the DNO for its application or notification evidence.
