Testing of a new circuit

[alexmclaa]

I know the logic in this doesn't make sense... But

If you install a new circuit in a 17th edition plastic consumer unit, but changed the consumer unit to a metal one the following day... What certification would you need?

Would you need an EIC for the new circuit? Or would you just include the new circuit on the EIC for the new board?

I know it's not logical... (You'd change the board first for obvious reasons)

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Your choice.
Work is not completed until Certification is issued.
I would probably go with one EIC for both jobs.

Depends on what date you put on the EIC! Just one, why complicate things unnecessarily.

PS get to bed earlier

The answer is both jobs need an EIC, so 1 or 2 is up to you. .....

And in England and Wales they both fall under part P too....

Hmm. Sorry, but I'll get my pedant horse out...

ALL electrical work falls under Part P

The
Statutory Instrument
Information relevent to Part P of the building regs in England/Wales, SI3210-2004 incorporating SI652-2006:
for Part P says only this

That is it.

The Building Regulations approved document (which you may be referring to) details how the P1 Statutory Instrument can be complied with. For instance, it suggests that conforming to BS7671 might be one way to do this!

It also specifies that certain work needs to be notified to the local authority. Which is a different thing.
