Electrical inspection in Brussels
Which commune is your property in?
In short
The electrical inspection checks whether the installation complies with the RGIE (General Regulation on Electrical Installations) of SPF Économie. Mandatory for sale, new installation or major modification, it is performed by an accredited body that reviews the panel, the grounding, the 30 mA and 300 mA residual-current protections, and issues the official report. Fixed price €150 at Sertic.
What is the electrical inspection for?
The electrical inspection checks whether the installation complies with the RGIE (General Regulation on Electrical Installations) of SPF Économie. The panel, circuits, grounding, 30 mA and 300 mA residual-current devices and safety points are reviewed against a standardised checklist.
At the end you receive an official report signed by the accredited body. The real goal is not just getting a PDF, but knowing whether the file actually stands up before a notary at sale, before the distributor at commissioning, or before heavier works. For a domestic installation predating 1 October 1981 sold non-compliant, the buyer has 18 months to bring it into compliance.
Why get an electrical inspection?

Full inspection
The inspection covers the board, circuits, grounding, protections, cable sections and the key safety points.
Official report
You leave with a report you can actually use in the file, not with vague verbal comments.
