Objective of Electrical Installation Licencing Regime

The main objective of the licensing regime is to ensure that the owners/ users of large electrical installations maintain their electrical installations properly and arrange for their installations to be inspected and certified fit for operation annually by LEWs.
Regular inspection of the electrical installation by a LEW is necessary because:

  • Wirings, electrical fittings and apparatus in electrical installations degenerate with time
  • Defects in an electrical installation, if not detected and rectified, would pose danger to life, property and the integrity of the part of the national grid to which the installation is connected
  • Vital protection devices need to be checked to ensure their operational integrity
  • Equipment such as switchgear, transformers, solar PV installations, etc. need to be checked regularly in accordance with the recommendations of the equipment manufacturers.

Our company is licensed to conduct design and installation works for systems up to 150 kVA 3-phase 200 amps, as well as inspections, renewals, and maintenance works for systems up to 500 kVA, 700 amps.

Our Licensed Electrical Worker (LEW) services encompass a wide range of offerings, including:

  • EMA EI Licence Renewal
  • EMA EI Licence New Application
  • Installation
  • Repairs
  • Maintenance
  • SP PowerGrid Submission
  • SP PowerGrid Apply Power Meter
  • Testing & Commissioning
  • JTC Application Submission
  • SLD Drawing & Endorsement

Regular inspections by LEWs will ensure that potential defects are detected and rectified before they become a safety hazard

Frequently Asked Questions

F.A.Q.

Q1. After I have issued the letter of appointment to my LEW, how do I find out the status of my licence application?

You may check the licence application status online through EMA’s website at www.ema.gov.sg. You only need to enter the online reference number in this format i.e. ESXXXXXXXX.

Q2. Can the installation licence holder print the installation licence directly?

No. It is the responsibility of the appointed LEW to print and deliver the hardcopy of the electrical installation licence to the licensee.

Q3. I awarded my electrical work contract to an electrical contractor. How do I know who is my appointed LEW?

Your electrical contractor is required to appoint a LEW of the appropriate class to take charge of the electrical work. You should ask your contractor to provide you the particulars and contact information of the LEW engaged for your electrical work. You can verify the LEW’s licence status from his/her card
licence or via EMA website at www.ema.gov.sg.

Q4. Can I apply for the installation licence if I am not paying the electricity bill?

The owner of the installation or the entity using the installation
can apply for the installation licence. The name of the licensee need not be the same as that of the utility account holder.

Q5. I occupy a unit in a multitenanted building for which an electrical installation licence has been issued. Can I apply for a separate electrical installation licence if I do not have an electricity account with SP Services Ltd?

No. EMA will not issue an electrical installation licence for your unit if you do not hold a separate electricity account with SP Services Ltd for the said unit.

Q6. What do I need to do with the existing installation licence if my company changes name?

Please first ascertain if your company’s Unique Entity Number (UEN12), has changed after changing the company name. If yes, you need to ask your appointed LEW to submit a new licence application as the installation licence is non-transferable.

If your company’s UEN remains the same, you may ask your appointed LEW to update the licensee’s name and apply for a replacement licence.

Q7. How do I change the particulars of the installation licence?

If the changes do not involve a change in the legal entity using the electrical installation, you may ask your appointed LEW to update the particulars of the installation licence online at no cost. If you would like to have a replacement licence, your LEW
would be able to apply on your behalf after updating the licence particulars. The fee payable for a replacement licence is $21.40 inclusive of GST.

Q8. How often should I carry out maintenance on my electrical installation?

Your appointed LEW will recommend to you a suitable maintenance schedule after assessing the operating conditions, operation needs, age of the equipment/apparatus and any other relevant factors.

Q9. How do I upgrade or downgrade the approved load of my installation?

You should discuss with your appointed LEW who will assess the load requirements to meet your business operation. Your LEW will thereafter submit an application to SP Services Ltd to upgrade or downgrade the approved load of your installation.

Q10. Can I request a copy of the previously submitted single-line drawing from EMA?

The single-line drawing in EMA’s record was received by EMA at the time of your licence application and could have been outdated. It would hence not be appropriate for you to obtain a copy of the single-line drawing of your electrical installation from EMA. You should approach your appointed LEW for a copy of the up-to-date single-line drawing.

Q11. How do I renew my electrical installation licence?

You have to appoint a LEW to take charge of your electrical installation. The appointed LEW will inspect your electrical installation, certify that the electrical installation is fit for operation and submit licence renewal application on your behalf to EMA via ELISE.

Q12. I am a tenant in a multi-tenanted building and all the tenants in the building have consented to purchase electricity en bloc through the landlord/MCST as a contestable consumer collectively. I have held an electrical installation licence for my tenanted unit prior to the en bloc electricity purchase. Do I need to renew my installation licence now?

In the en bloc purchase of electricity, there is only a single contestable consumer for the entire building. Consequently only one electrical installation licence is required to cover the electrical installation in the entire building.

As a transitional arrangement, the existing tenants who have possessed separate electrical installation licences prior to the en bloc purchase of electricity, would have the option to: (a) continue holding and renewing separate electrical installation licences for their respective tenanted units; or (b) arrange to have their respective tenanted units covered under the electrical
installation licence of the landlord/MCST of the building.

In the latter option, you have to obtain the consent of the landlord/MCST of the building and let the appointed LEW of the landlord/MCST carry out inspection of your electrical installation.

Q13. What is a LEW?

A LEW is a person who is technically competent in carrying out electrical work and is licensed by EMA.

Q14. Why should I appoint a LEW to take charge of my installation?

This is to ensure that your electrical installation is maintained properly in compliance with the safety requirements. This requirement is set out in the Electricity Act (Cap. 89A).

Q15. What is the responsibility of the landlord’s LEW in regards to the turn on of electricity supply to the tenant’s electrical installation?

The landlord’s LEW shall inspect the tenant’s main intake switchboard to ensure that it is safe to receive electricity supply from the landlord’s electrical installation. He will be responsible to energise the service cable to the tenant’s main switchboard and issue the “Statement of Turn On of Electricity” to the tenant.

Q16. How much should I pay my appointed LEW for the inspection of my electrical installation and renewal of my installation licence?

EMA does not regulate the charges for the services offered by LEWs to the public as the amount of work varies from case to case and the LEWs operate in a competitive environment. You may obtain quotations from different LEWs before deciding on the appointment of your LEW.

Q17. What if my appointed LEW relinquished his duty suddenly?

You have to appoint another LEW to take charge of your electrical installation without delay as you need a competent person to operate and take charge of the installation. You need to give the newly appointed LEW the LOA to authorize him/her to submit “change of LEW” application to EMA. There is no application fee payable to EMA for such “change of LEW” application.
