EIC with no building regulations compliance certificate

[willdrury]

May seem like a pretty silly question, but can you issue a EIC without a building regulations compliance certifcate as long as the work is non-notifiable. I am finding recently that during EICR remedial's I am having too many alterations to fit on a multiple minor works certificate so I am having to issue a EIC. I don't want to also pay for the Building regulations compliance certificate to go with this if it is not actually necessary.

Have a read of note 1 at the end of the EIC.
It actually says an EIC can be used as an alternative to multiple MWC's.
So all good

Depends on what the remedial work entails as to whether a Building Regulation notification is made, not wehther if its an EIC or MW certificate!

Not if you're NICEIC- I did the same ie an EIC to show the BC on an extension instead of a confusing messy wallet of MWCs and on audit my inspector counted my (domestic) EICs v notifications and snagged the missmatch as improvement/evidence.

I'm future I'll just EICR it then

Oh and yes, he is a massive ---. Do NIC auditors get paid extra for reviewing the further evidence they require? In the past I never had issue but the one who does me now seems utterly determined to set some piece of homework for me.

Not every Domestic EIC, or MW for that matter requires BC Notification so bound to be a mismatch! Certainly is in our files!

With certification select are obsessed with filling out correct certificate because apparently if there is the smallest detail wrong with cert if anything happens like a fire a lawyer would pick it apart in court .they will always look for the smallest detail that might not be correct and give you the scare tactic .
