Minor works for each altered circuit

The work sounds like it could be covered by BS7671 Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate(s) but that doesn’t affect a possible requirement to notify Council of the work under Part P in England and Wales.

The bathroom is a Special Location and Part P of the Building Regulations wording is something like “alterations and additions in a Special Location are to be notified”. But there are zones defined so that if your bathroom was open plan (!!!) you wouldn’t need to consider the whole house a Special Location, at least under the wiring rules.

Just looking for what we need to do to comply with the regs., and what or who issues the
certification, or if that is needed..
the lights and shaver points are in zone 2 if thats helps.
Thanks

3. Reposition of shaver point from one wall to another. different bathroom.
4. New electrical shower pump installed.

1. If a new circuit then EIC or if taken from existing circuit then MWC.
2. If an alteration to an existing circuit then MWC.
3. If a new circuit then EIC or if taken from existing circuit then MWC.
4. If a new circuit then EIC or if taken from existing circuit then MWC.

the lights and shaver points are in zone 2 if thats helps.

That appears to fit within the scope of electrical works notifiable under Part P.

My certificate software has minor works cert that covers up to 5 alterations so if no new circuits are installed you could use one of them but as others have said it sounds like the work is notifiable
