    MWC or EICR

    Hi all. I normally get a lot of remedial work from the other guys who carry out the EICRS. Some of the faults might include untraceable circuits, which after a bit of investigation can normally be found. Now, when I find these circuits then I inspect, test, and complete a separate EICR...

    Is it acceptable to enter low IR on MWC

    When doing minor works on a circuit, which may take a very short time to complete and it requires a MWC the IR test between L-N and E may be zero due to other electronic items.

    IR testing results on MWC

    Interested to know what other people do about IR testing results on a MWC. If your additions contain new fixed wiring then you test that and record those results, obviously. But what if you're just replacing a fitting with a brand new one, the IR testing of which seems pointless? Do you leave...

    MWC - Nice wording

    Got a light fitting to change tomorrow and I am half doing my cert but I cannot think of a good way to put "L/N" IR Omitted because it would take all day to remove the lamps on a whole floor.
