Your Guide to LECs / YΔΕ

Licensed Electrician Certification Made Simple

Understand what a LEC / ΥΔΕ is, when you need it, and how ElecSafe ensures your business stays compliant, safe, and fully documented - without stress or delays.

What Is a LEC / ΥΔΕ and Why Do You Need One?

Stay compliant and safe with a certified Electrical Installation Declaration (LEC / ΥΔΕ).

The LEC (Licensed Electrician's Certification) is an official document certifying that your electrical installation is safe and compliant with current technical standards. It is required by law in Greece (Government Gazette B’ 4654/8.10.2021) and must be issued by a licensed electrical engineer or electrician following a full inspection of the installation.

Why it matters:

A missing or expired LEC/ΥΔΕ can result in refusal of grid connection, fines, or even suspension of operations. ElecSafe helps you avoid surprises by delivering the LEC quickly and correctly, tailored to your installation and usage. More information on LECs according to HEDNO can be found here

Who Needs a LEC / ΥΔΕ?

LEC are required for businesses using electricity in Greece, from shops to commercial buildings.

If your commercial property uses electricity, whether you're running a warehouse, shop, office, or café, chances are you need a valid LEC (Licensed Electrician Certification).


You’ll need a new LEC if:

--> You are installing a new electrical system or modifying an existing one

--> You’re applying for or renewing a business operating license

--> You need to reconnect an installation to the distribution network.

--> Your current LEC/ΥΔΕ has expired (The expiration date varies from 2 to 10 years).

How long is your LEC valid?

  • 2 Years: Businesses that serve a large public, involve high risk, or are located in outdoor areas.
  • 5 Years: Most typical professional spaces
  • 10 Years: Residential Installations / Houses
