    Good morning,
    I have a question about the declaration of readiness to connect to the power grid.
    The electrician, after connecting the rbetki, issued me something like this, but I am here to declare that "the works were carried out by a person qualified for this type of work and were accepted by a person authorized to perform independent functions in the construction industry to the required extent ...". How can I check whether the electrician has such qualifications, whether they are sufficient and whether he performed this acceptance? I am a layman and I know that he did something, gave me this statement, I have to sign it and submit it to the power plant.

    Is there an owner/contractor option?

    There is point 1. Contractor's statement and point 2 statement of the entity connected in the first point electrician's data in the second point mine.
    So I declare but I don't know how to check it. I can ask, but all in all, what he wouldn't tell me, show me, I don't know anyway.

    In the meantime, I edited the previous post. Click on the link. Drop a photo of this application (without sensitive data) unless colleagues from the capital write something ;)

    It is probably supported by PGE, you check whether it has a valid qualification certificate and whether it has provided you with the required documents.
    Here's your statement:

    You don't have to check anything. You are to receive a report on the insulation resistance test, and after applying the voltage, a report on checking the SWZ condition and testing RCDs.

    In my area, the bidder for the tender for electrical works posts a scan of the qualification certificate, the same rule applies to a private investor (unfortunately, it is commonly disregarded).
    It is repeatedly mentioned on the forum that electrical installations should be performed by a person with a valid qualification certificate and this is also the investor's protection and the investor is to check whether the person actually has such qualifications and takes responsibility for it.

    The authorizations that the contractor should have are described in the connection conditions and the person signing the statement should have such qualifications. The rule is that if the construction process requires the supervision of a person authorized to manage electrical works, then this person should have a construction license, if it is not required by a qualification certificate - E for assembly, D - for approval of measurement reports

    And what is written on the seal of your electrician and why did the electrician not fill out this application himself? It's the standard for this kind of service.

    It's a pity you don't specify which energy region. You have Warsaw entered in your profile.
    It can be Innogy Stoen in Warsaw itself or PGE Warszawa Teren in the vicinity of the capital.
    If Innogi, the application looks like this and does not require UB: www.innogystoenoperator.pl/files/2020-03/45zgloszenia-gotowosci-instalacji-odgranicznej-dla-grupy-vivi-do-40-kw-2020-02-20-active .pdf

    At PGE, UB already requires:

    The requirements of the SWiZ and the notification of the installation for connection cannot be put on an equal footing.
    Colleagues still do not realize the importance of the investor's signature under such a notification.
    Such a signature means that all protocols confirming that the voltage can be safely applied are in the investor's possession. Otherwise, it is a false declaration.
    And this is not the end, because more documents still need to be delivered to the county office. There's no mention of a statement here.

    And the reasons for not signing the notification by the contractor may be different. Even the lack of economic activity.


    When going to the doctor, we do not demand a diploma. When getting into a taxi, we do not ask for a driving license, etc

    Did you mean the statement that this thread is about when you wrote the above words? If so, such a statement is included in the Supplier's documents. Without it, the Recipient will not be connected, in short.

FAQ

TL;DR: For Innogy forms up to 40 kW, "the date and signature of the contractor are enough." Verify whether UB is required, or E/D certificates suffice, then collect test reports and submit the readiness declaration. This FAQ helps homeowners sign GI forms confidently. [Elektroda, Łukasz-O, post #19025321]

Why it matters: It prevents false declarations and delays when getting your installation connected to the grid.

Quick Facts

What is the declaration of readiness to connect and who signs it?

It’s the DSO form confirming your installation is ready. It has two parts: the contractor’s statement and the connected entity’s statement. Your electrician completes the contractor section. You complete the connected entity section with your data. Both parts validate readiness before the DSO schedules connection. [Elektroda, elukasz, post #19023613]

Which documents must I have before I sign as the investor?

Have an insulation resistance test report. After applying voltage, get a report confirming SWZ condition and RCD test results. "You are to receive a report on the insulation resistance test." Keep copies with your connection paperwork. These protocols evidence safety for energization. [Elektroda, kkas12, post #19024369]

How do I check if my electrician is qualified to sign or accept the work?

Ask for a valid qualification certificate and keep a scan with your records. Request scope and validity details. This is your protection and responsibility as the investor. Many skip this step, but you shouldn’t. Only hire contractors who present current qualifications. [Elektroda, Topolski Mirosław, post #19024596]

Which authorizations are needed: E, D, or a construction license (UB)?

Follow your connection conditions. If the construction process requires supervised electrical works, a construction license is necessary. If no supervision is required, a qualification certificate is enough. Use E for assembly work and D for approving measurement reports. Ensure the signer holds the right scope. [Elektroda, stonefree, post #19025122]

Does Innogy Stoen (Warsaw) require a UB license on the GI form?

Innogy’s readiness application does not require a UB license. The referenced template targets Group V/VI connections up to 40 kW. Your contractor should still have appropriate E/D qualifications. Confirm with your DSO if your project scope is unusual. [Elektroda, Łukasz-O, post #19025321]

How does PGE handle UB and signatures on its readiness form?

PGE expects UB credentials. However, the form lacks fields to enter UB numbers. As one expert notes, “the date and signature of the contractor are enough.” Ensure your contractor’s qualifications match PGE’s conditions before submitting. Keep all protocols attached. [Elektroda, Łukasz-O, post #19025321]

Can the owner submit Tauron’s GI form?

Yes. Tauron’s template includes owner and contractor options. That layout supports scenarios where the owner submits while the contractor provides their statement. Always attach required protocols before filing. [Elektroda, opornik7, post #19023605]

What does my signature actually confirm?

Your signature confirms you hold all required protocols proving safe energization. Signing without them is a false declaration. As stated: “Such a signature means that all protocols… are in the investor’s possession.” Keep originals or certified copies. [Elektroda, kkas12, post #19025535]

What if the contractor won’t sign or lacks business activity?

Reasons for not signing vary, including no registered business activity. Your priority is to obtain all required protocols. Do not sign until you have them. That avoids making a false declaration and potential delays. [Elektroda, kkas12, post #19025535]

How do I collect the minimum test protocols before connection?

Follow this checklist:
  1. Request the insulation resistance test report.
  2. After energization, get the SWZ condition check report.
  3. Obtain the RCD test results and file them with your form. [Elektroda, kkas12, post #19024369]

What happens if I submit without the supplier’s statement or required form?

Connection will not proceed. The statement sits within the supplier’s documents and is mandatory. Without it, the DSO will not connect you. Ensure all sections are completed and signed before submission. [Elektroda, opornik7, post #19025588]

Should I ask for a scan of the qualification certificate and keep it?

Yes. Request a scan or photo of the electrician’s current qualification certificate. File it with your protocols. Bidders often publish such scans; private investors should follow the same practice. It supports accountability and protects you. [Elektroda, Topolski Mirosław, post #19024596]

Where can I see a sample GI form to prepare?

Tauron provides a downloadable GI template that shows owner and contractor sections. Review it to understand required fields and signatures. Use it to brief your contractor before scheduling tests or inspections. [Elektroda, opornik7, post #19023605]

Who should fill the application—me or the electrician?

Typically, the electrician prepares and fills the application as part of the service. As noted, “It’s the standard for this kind of service.” You then complete the connected entity part and sign with the attached protocols. [Elektroda, Łukasz-O, post #19025321]
