inspection services: what we do
In accordance with the Nova Scotia Electrical Installation and Inspection Act, Inspection Services is appointed on behalf of the Department of Labour and Advanced Education to perform electrical inspections in Nova Scotia. When a wiring permit is opened by your electrical contractor, and a wiring inspection is scheduled through our Wiring Permit Contact Centre, one of our experienced inspectors will visit your site to start the inspection process. Our inspector will look for safety hazards to ensure the installation meets the requirements of the Canadian Electrical Code. The scope of the project determines the type and number of inspections required.
