entidade instaladora

entidade instaladora de instalações elétricas (firm licensed to carry out electrical installation work)
A firm authorised to carry out and hand over private electrical installations. It is recognised by the DGEG energy directorate under Lei n.º 14/2015, which requires three things: registration in the IMPIC construction register, civil liability insurance of at least €50,000 and a responsible technician on the staff. Without such a firm and a registered technician, the work cannot be signed off and handed over to the grid operator.
Where you come across it. Starting your own electrical business, a renovation with rewiring, handing over a new installation, checking a contractor before signing.
Ask the contractor for the technician's DGEG number: without it, nobody will sign the installation papers, and you will have to pay for the work to be redone yourself.
