An electrical inspection is an official review to verify that electrical work meets safety standards and building code requirements.

An electrical inspection is a formal evaluation of electrical installations to ensure they comply with applicable electrical codes, safety standards, and approved construction documents. Inspections are typically performed by a licensed electrical inspector at various stages of a construction or renovation project.

In construction, electrical inspections commonly occur at multiple points, including rough-in, service installation, and final completion. Inspectors review wiring methods, grounding and bonding, circuit protection, box fill, device installation, and clearances to confirm the system is safe and correctly installed.

Passing an electrical inspection is required before a project can proceed to the next phase or receive a certificate of occupancy. Failed inspections can result in delays, rework, or additional costs. Proper planning, code knowledge, and coordination with inspectors help ensure electrical systems meet requirements and function safely.

Electrical inspectors often rely on the National Electrical Code (NEC), which is updated every three years to reflect new safety standards and technologies.
