The Electrical Distribution Information System provides a simple, convenient document manage system to create, edit and store all information relating to electrical installations.

The system's data is based on the requirements of the national standard for the safety of electrical installations, BS 7671: Requirements for electrical installations.

The system contains all the data required to :

»	Update and print distribution board charts
»	Issue New Installation certificates
»	Issue Minor Works certificates
»	Issue Periodic inspection certificates

What about security and user rights

The user rights are designed to control access to the system, allowing changes to be made only by those authorized to do so by the Electrical Supervisor.

There are three levels of user:

»	Building Administrators – who create Electrical Supervisors and Contractors
»	Electrical Supervisors – who create, delete, edit and update data. They also request the certificates.
»	Contrctors – who complete the certificate information and authorize the final copy of the cerificate

How can I register for the system?

You can email customerservices@electricalcertificates.co.uk

The service is provided on a subscription basis

Subscribing Organisations agree to a 3 year subscription, payable annually in advance.

The cost is based on the number of distribution boards that the Subscribing Organisation has entered into the system

Certificates are printed into a PDF document which can be printed and signed by the contractor.

A copy of the PDF is available on the EDIS system, whenever the contractor requires it.

PDF's are marked as original or duplicate

Only Contractors may indicate when the certificate is authorized as completed

How does EDIS fit in with NICEIC

The NICEIC maintains a Roll of Approved Contractors that are assessed every year to check that their work meets the national safety standard BS 7671 (the IEE Wiring Regulations) and other relevant technical standards.

One of the rules of NICEIC enrolment is that NICEIC contractors must issue Electrical Installation Certificates for all work undertaken.

EDIS facilitates the completion of NICEIC certificates, by allowing the contractor to print the details of the inspection directly to the NICEIC stationery.
