Well that seems pretty clear..

Are you an electrician?
Is this your own house?
Are you Qualified in the U.k or elsewhere?
Are you in business doing work for others?
Are you employed or self employed?

Are you 17th Edition,
Registered with any Schemes, Elecsa, Niceic?

Just an heads up cristian, people dont identify themselves as foreigners, they tend to say which country there from, otherwise people may just think your a messer.Regards Ap

Yeah , I always look at the bottom of the page to see if they hang around for an answer. I know I would if I posted a question. Most of them post and go, probably to annoy another forum somewhere.

for a CU change you will need to complete an EIC ( installation certificate. ). i tick the alteration box when i do one.

Thank you,telectrix...i wasnt sure the new CU is actually a new installation or an alteration...so i really appreciate,thank you

 

[telectrix]

some would tick "new" as you could argue that the CU is a new install CU, but i only use "new" for a complete new installation.

 

[cristian]

yes,i understand this....if all installations are new than should be ticked new...but if the new CU serve an old installations than must tick alteration,right?...thanks

 

[DurhamSparky]

Tick what box you feel is appropriate, I always tick new as normally I have installed earths and extras that are NEW.

But as tel says alteration is fine also
