Example dossier
Villa des Érables, from plan to dossier
A two-storey house with a garage, drawn and wired in ES Schémas: 13 rooms, 2 boards, 21 circuits. Here is its dossier sheet by sheet, and what the RGIE checks make of it. The client, address and site are fictitious.
The dossier
13 sheets, not one drawn by hand
Layout plans, single-line diagrams, board layouts and the legend all come from the same project. Tap a sheet to open it full size. This example dossier is in French.

The RGIE checks at work
The same house, with eight common mistakes
To show the checks at work, we took the Villa des Érables and slipped in mistakes you come across on site. ES Schémas finds every one, cites the RGIE clause and takes you to the item concerned.
- ID5 · RCD typeType AC RCDs are no longer allowed: RCDs in domestic installations are at least type A.To fix · 5.3.5.3 a
- O · 30 mA RCDThis circuit supplies socket outlets not intended for a fixed appliance and a bathroom or shower: no RCD of 30 mA at most protects it, whereas one is required downstream of the main RCD. Circuits at SELV or with electrical separation are exempt.To fix · 4.2.4.3 b; 7.1.4.3

And once corrected
The published version of the dossier has nothing left to correct. 8 points remain “to check” that only an on-site inspection can settle: bathroom zones, earth electrode and equipotential bonding, boards, EV charger installation, and the qualifications of the person in charge of the work.
