1 November 2026: Is your social housing electrical safety compliance up to date?
A major electrical safety deadline is approaching for social landlords across England, bringing important responsibilities for housing associations, local authorities and property management teams.
By 1 November 2026, social landlords must ensure that electrical installations in properties covered by the transitional deadline have been inspected and tested by a qualified professional, alongside the required checks on landlord-provided electrical equipment.
For electricians, this also highlights the growing demand for qualified inspection and testing professionals who understand the latest regulations, including Amendment 4 of the 18th Edition.
At Kelly Energy Training, we provide electrical safety awareness, inspection and testing, and 18th Edition training to help professionals develop the knowledge and skills needed across the industry.
Our latest blog explains who the deadline affects, what's required and how the right training can help.
