LEW Services & EMA Electrical Licensing in Singapore

Under Singapore's Electricity Act, electrical installations above a set load must be operated under a Licensed Electrical Worker who takes legal responsibility for their safety. Most non-domestic premises and larger installations therefore need a named LEW. BSH provides Grade 8 LEWs who can be appointed as your responsible worker.

The EMA electrical installation licence is applied for via EMA with a Licensed Electrical Worker named as responsible for the installation. BSH handles the full process — inspection, documentation, SLD endorsement and submission — and renews the licence for you each year.

Yes. We can take over an existing installation as your appointed LEW. We inspect and test it, rectify any defects, then endorse the installation and update the EMA licence to reflect the new responsible worker.

Our in-house Grade 8 LEWs are authorised for installations up to 150 kVA — covering the full range of commercial fit-outs, landed homes and most industrial premises. For larger or higher-capacity installations, we work with a partner Grade 9 LEW, so bigger jobs are covered too.

Yes. We carry out statutory periodic inspection and testing to SS 638, including protection and injection testing, and issue the required certification.

An EMA electrical installation licence is renewed periodically (typically each year) with a Licensed Electrical Worker named as the responsible worker. For clients we look after, BSH manages the entire renewal — periodic inspection, any rectification, LEW re-endorsement and the EMA submission — so your licence never lapses.

Yes. Our Grade 8 Licensed Electrical Worker inspects and tests your installation to SS 638 and EMA requirements, then issues the LEW endorsement and certification it needs to be operated legally — whether it is a new installation, a take-over, or a licence renewal.
