MWC or EIC?

[akwoody2]

Evening chaps,

A little help with what i think is a grey area. Im going to install a twin socket from the DB off the 32a ring RCBO. Does this class as an alteration where i will issue a MWC or does it warrant a EIC?

Thanks

Minor Works Certificate, as its just an addition to an existing circuit and doesn't extend to the provision of a new circuit.

Source: Appendix 6 BS7671.

Edit, just re-read your post, do you mean take the cable for the socket and place it directly into the RCBO / CCU?

Correct.

Adding a spur from the CU to a MCB which is currently in use is considered a "alteration" - so a MWC applies...

Appendix 15 states:

An unfused spur may be connected to the origin of the circuit in the Distribution board.

So I would stick with the Minor works and not a EIC because it's a addition to the existing circuit.

Nothing grey, MWC.
