HI so I have been asked to do the electrics for a loft conversion in a bungalow, it is minimal work 2 sockets a light and a smoke all of which will be coming of a current circuit so no new circuits. does this mean I can just issue a minor works certificate ?
thanks
Just done a little kitchen rewire, onto the testing, minor works.
Dead tests are fine, all ok. Power on.
Tried to do ELI... main rcd trips. Check tester, set to no trip... strange. Screen comes up with “trip”
Tried rcd test. Again, trips with same message... doesn’t give me a ms reading. Tried...
Hi,
I was having an disagreement with a work mate, a client has been told that their bonding (gas) is in the wrong place, (it is).
This is the only job we have to do there and obviously after moving it and carrying out the required continuity tests, would you issue a minor works certificate...
If you’re on a job which involves things like just replacing light fittings and odds and sods on different circuits for the same client, is there a MWC that can cater for more than one set of circuit tests rather than doing separate certs for each circuit?
Had one of those days with niggling little scrapes and cuts. Started off with some how piercing the end of my thumb with a very short piece of SWA armour. Don’t know how the hell it happened but would have provided a good blood sample aka like those finger ----- tests. Later on cut a very nice...
New circuits. Ra of 229 Ohms therefore the rcds are for fault protection by design. Zdb of 0.29 (10mm gas bond) so are the rcds classed as additional protection?
Good evening,
A burning question has arisen in my mind regarding minor works certificates.
This is, if you do some work for a customer which involves say adding some additional lights to an existing lighting circuit, as well as an outdoor light spurred and fused off of a ring main. Would you...
Changed 4 way hook up box with individual 16A RCBOs in box,
Part 1 is description of works all good
Part 2 is earthing and bonding yes
Part 3 Circuit details so this is what feeds the box? And the fuse/mcb
Part 4 is test results for circuit altered or extended so these are my results for feed...
If a like for like change is done but it's not in compliance with the new regs is a risk assessment always required?
Also where does the "like for like" terminology come from?
I use my own MEIWC that I based on the NICEIC's version below:
Can someone confirm if the NICEIC are using the same certificate or if it has changed due to the 18th edition.
Also if it has changed, please could someone upload a scan on the newer version for me to use as a template.
thanks
I think I may have asked this question a while ago but not sure on what the answer was and it's come up again at our monthly tool box talk.
When doing a Minor works for an additional spurred socket or extra light fitting on a circuit, should the R1+R2 measurement be taken from the protective...
So I am currently registered with the NICEIC as a domestic installer, but I need to fill in a minor works for adding a spur to an existing ring as a dental surgery.
As I can't do this via NICEIC, can I download a model form, fill that in and give it to the client?
I've seen a couple of model...

Just a quick one.. I have been to a job today where the shower isolator switch had burnt out, as it wasn't RCD protected I replaced the switch with a 1 way consumer unit with an RCD.
My question is..do I need to do a full EIC or would a minor works do?
Cheers
Having recently passed Domestic installers exams but not having set up a business or not yet working for an electrician, if i do some minor work for a family member, can i issue them with a Minor Works certificate i.e. with no company name on the document?
Good afternoon all,
Just newly qualified, so not registered with recognised body to do self certs. So having new kitchen fitted, and existing sockets in old cupboards just needed fitting into new cupboards. Fitter insisted that he needed a MWC so another sparky fitted sockets and raised MWC...
Hi there, just trying to find out some info regarding the issue of a minor works cert.
Having recently completed the 2395 course, I can carry out periodics, but wondered if I can issue a minor works cert or whether I have to wait until I have done my 2394 course ? Many thanks
:)
Interested in fellow sparks opinions on this.
Client of a 15-20year old commercial/Industrial premises wants an additional 13a socket outlet installed for a specific piece of equipment, the additional wiring for this will be off a current non-rcd ring (with satisfactory Zs value) and installed...
