As a property owner, you are required to have all electrical meters specific to your home periodically inspected by an accredited inspection body. The inspection frequency varies between 5 and 20 years depending on the use of the premises and the type of installation. No worries, SIG (or your RCP manager if you are part of a “group for own consumption”) is obliged to send you a reminder letter at least 6 months before the next due date.
In the context of a sale, the buyer is also required to have this inspection carried out immediately after the property transfer if the last inspection was conducted less than 5 years ago. This point is usually noted in the sales contract.
