First and foremost, you are required by law to have an electrical installation that is up to standard. In fact, for a standard home, you must have an inspection of your installations every 25 years. Tourist businesses, on the other hand, must do so every 5 years. In public places, installations must be inspected every year.
CD Engineering will go on site to check your electrical installations. During this inspection, we will check in particular :
If your installations comply with the legal standards, you will receive a certificate attesting to compliance with the standards in force. This certificate is then legally binding and can be used as such.
However, if any work is required, we will draw up an estimate based on the work to be done. Once the work has been carried out, we will provide you with a certificate of compliance that has legal force.
CD Engineering will assist you in bringing your home or commercial building into electrical compliance. You have received a certificate of non-conformity, or you need a certificate of electrical conformity to sell your property? Contact a certified electrician who will take care of the verification of your installations and the renovation work if necessary.
To ensure the compliance of your electrical systems in Brussels, a number of technical and practical requirements must be met.
Firstly, from a technical point of view, your installation must include protected cables and sheaths suited to the intended electrical load. Your sockets and switches must be compliant and correctly installed, with no more than 8 connections per circuit. And, each element must be adapted to its intended use, respecting safety distances and using materials appropriate to its function and location. Finally, your electrical panel must have adequate protection to maximize your safety in the event of an overload or electrical fault.
In practice, it’s important to carry out regular diagnostics. These will enable you to detect and resolve any anomalies quickly, thereby limiting the risks involved. Ultimately, it’s imperative to entrust any electrical work to a certified professional. That way, you’ll be sure to comply with current standards and benefit from insurance coverage.
On the basis of the visit report, we will draw up an estimate for the work to be carried out, for example:

It is also important to consider your safety. You could be put at risk because of outdated installations. Without updating your system, electrocution or fire could quickly occur. In addition, if your electrical system isn’t properly installed, many insurance companies will not cover you. So, in your home, think of yourself and your family. Have your electrical installations checked as soon as you think it is necessary.

If you own your own home, whether house or flat, you must comply with safety regulations regarding general electricity. But what is the compliance of the electrical installation of a flat? To better understand what it is all about, compliance is the verification of your electrical network to ensure that it complies with the standards. This check must be carried out for all housing built before 1 October 1981 and at least every 25 years. If the system doesn’t comply, you are obliged to carry out work to bring it up to standard. Bringing the system up to standard allows you to protect your property and yourself. Indeed, the risks of fire or other accidents are much greater in a non-compliant location. CD Engineering explains in a few points the important things you need to know on the subject.
If you are a tenant with a commercial lease, you do not have to pay for electrical safety. In fact, unless otherwise stipulated, it is the lessor’s responsibility to ensure that the occupants are housed in the best possible conditions.
It is difficult to put an exact figure on the cost of bringing a flat into compliance. It usually varies depending on the electrical company you hire. The price also varies according to the current state of your electrical installation. The older it is, the more you will have to pay, and vice versa. You should therefore call on a professional electrician you can trust.
At CD Engineering, we have been working with qualified electricians for 27 years. That’s why it’s a common procedure to have a flat retrofit. In addition, we have all the necessary equipment to carry out an electrical renovation safely. Contact us now by phone or on our website. The estimate is free and without obligation!

The cost of an electrical upgrade varies and depends on the extent of the work that needs to be done. The price may also vary according to the size of the house, as the work isn’t the same for a duplex flat, a small building, a studio or social housing. The intervention will also be different depending on whether it is a ground floor flat, first floor or top floor. To find out the price of bringing a flat into line with electrical standards, the easiest way is to draw up a tailor-made estimate that takes into account all the work to be carried out.

Have you just bought a building plot? Your house building project has started and your architect has talked to you about electrical compliance? Do you live in a family home and are you considering extensions to your electrical system? Electrical upgrading is a very important element in a modern house, regardless of the style of construction. An outdated electrical system can lead to short circuits and even fires, making your home uninhabitable. Among the first signs of a faulty installation are the absence of a one-line diagram, a lack of insulation or a lack of continuity with the earthing system. In the case of house construction, compliance is also necessary before connecting the installation to the network.
Would you like to know the cost of bringing a house in Brussels into compliance with the regulations? Contact the team of professionals at CD Engineering now, we will take the time to answer your questions and draw up a free, no-obligation estimate.
It is difficult to calculate precisely the total price of an electrical upgrade. In the case of a purchase, electrical upgrading represents an additional budget to be included in the price of a house and the house building estimate. Also, the price will vary if it is a house with an existing but defective electrical network. Thus, the price of an electrical upgrade of a house is very variable, as it depends on many factors:
The best way to estimate the budget for a house upgrade in Brussels is to ask for a clear and detailed estimate. At CD Engineering, we provide free, tailor-made estimates. This way, you can be sure that there will be no unpleasant surprises.
You want to bring your property up to electrical standards and renovate your installations in Brussels ? Know that there’s a renovation bonus in Brussels for private individuals and professionals, available under certain conditions !
First of all, to qualify for the bonus, you must be registered at the address of the property when you apply for the bonus, and be committed to keeping it for a minimum of 5 years for private individuals and 9 years for professionals after the work has been completed, or to entrusting it to a social real estate agency if the cost exceeds €30,000.
Secondly, the property must be over 10 years old, and the work must involve an electric meter, socket, switch, light points or walls affected by these devices. Note, however, that to benefit from this bonus, an inspection report by an approved body is imperative.
Finally, the bonus is divided into three categories. Category I, for normal incomes, covers 30% of costs. Category II, for middle-income earners, covers 50% of costs. And category III, for low incomes, covering up to 70% of costs.
We have put together a list of your most frequently asked questions about our electrical compliance work in Brussels.
The verification of the electrical conformity is carried out in particular by checking the electrical network, the sockets, the electrical panel, the circuit breaker, etc. A professional electrician will come to your home with his electrical equipment and carry out a check-up of your home. He will then provide you with a list of the items to be updated. If, for example, your grounding plug is faulty, it must be replaced. You could also have problems with electrical connections, or an electrical panel that does not meet standards. There are a lot of things to check when it comes to the electrical sector. Always entrust this work to an experienced electrician!
Have you requested the intervention of an electrician for compliance work? Then you must receive a certificate of compliance from your electrician as soon as the work is completed. This certificate is proof that your home now meets the electrical standards. But of course, your peace of mind is the most important thing. That’s why you should choose a trusted professional for this type of work. CD Engineering has been carrying out electrical compliance interventions in Brussels for private individuals and professionals for 26 years now. Ask for our references if you want to know more about our expertise. You can also ask for a free and obligation-free quote via our form!
It should be noted that many of the electrical installations in houses sold in Brussels no longer meet the current RGIE standards. So what are the most important risks and negative consequences of electrical installations that do not meet the electrical standards set by the regulations? The greatest risk you could face is an electrical fire. It is important to note that a third of all fires are caused by electrical equipment that has suffered short circuits or problems with the electrical network and its connection. Whether the house is old or new, whether it is a house or a flat, electrical compliance is important, so think about it when you move in.
The certificate of conformity can only be issued by an approved inspection body for a period of 25 years. In order to avoid unpleasant surprises, it is important to be aware of the different rules for electrical compliance beforehand. In fact, you must provide the inspection body with the single-line diagram of your installation, a diagram of the various elements of your installation (electrical sockets, differential switches, circuit breakers, etc.) and the EAN code that identifies the connection of the electrical installation.
There are subsidies for electrical renovation work. However, electrical upgrading in Brussels doesn’t entitle you to a specific premium. To find out more, we advise you to contact the responsible authorities to find out about the rules for electrical upgrading and the possible premiums available.
Among the most common violations are the absence of a one-line diagram or position diagram, the lack of insulation of conductors with sheaths, the lack of differentials or the discontinuity with the earthing system. In this case, you must bring your electrical installation into conformity as soon as possible.
The retrofitting of electrical installations in a flat is similar to that carried out in a house or other building. As a tenant, you do not have to pay for the upgrading of your electrical installation. Unless otherwise stated, it is the responsibility of your landlord to bring the property up to standard in order to maintain the safety of the occupants. A non-compliant electrical installation can lead to electrocution and damage to your household appliances.
The earthing point is connected directly to the earth from the electrical panel and is the end of the earthing circuit in a house.
This is designed to limit the risk of electrocution and electrification due to poor insulation of your electrical supply. Indeed, bare wires in contact with a conductive element, or a dysfunctional wiring diagram, can lead to serious damage. This includes too many sockets, inappropriate layout or non-compliance with safety standards. Therefore, electrical grounding protects your home in the event of an electrical fault. That’s why it’s so important to ensure your electrical compliance in Brussels, so you can benefit from protected connections and ensure the proper functioning and longevity of your electrical equipment.
To finalize your compliance in Brussels :
This will certify the new installation. Finally, keep yourself informed of changes in local standards to ensure the long-term compliance of your installations. And don’t forget, whenever you make changes to your electrical network, consult a certified electrician. That way, you can ensure continuity of care and benefit from both a recognized know-how and advices tailored to current requirements !
There are three types of circuit breaker: the general circuit breaker, the modular circuit breaker and the differential circuit breaker. Their role is to ensure the safety of electrical installations, to avoid any risk of overload, overvoltage or short-circuit. To do so, they each have a high sensitivity defined by a threshold value, measured in amperes. Above this value, a power cut is automatically triggered to avoid any incident.
The general circuit-breaker’s role is to protect your entire installation, while the divisional circuit-breaker focuses specifically on individual electrical circuits. As for the differential, it detects any current leakage. There are different types to suit the needs of each room and electrical installation :
Therefore, by installing the right switches and circuit breakers, you ensure not only the protection of your equipment, but also the safety of people by preventing potential electrical hazards.
