I'm not an expert in this area, but what constituted the repair?
I.e. if the repair generated a MEIWC (for example) then I'd make a note on that....clearly you can't annotate the original EICR..

Hi Dave,
Ive taken a screenshot of the work that needs doing, do you recommend doing an MEIWC for each? the thing I've seen done before is someone using literally a home printed excel worksheet that looks like the 'section A - Observation' page and fill in the ones they've rectified and just put in 'satisfactory' but I guess thats probably the same person who did the EICR in the first place.

Well that's what I'd do..but await further advice from the honourable members here gathered.....
There's quite a number of issues raised...some I'd disagree with. Eg car park lights....

Not sure I agree with 5,6,7 & 9

You can issue MWC's

IMHO you can't give a "satisfactory" unless you do another complete report.

Interesting point.. surely you wouldn't repeat the entire report? That makes no sense...

Surely 7 & 8 would be further investigation not a C2?

Evening all. Been a while.

OP. As you are now working on the installation to effect repairs and those repairs are over different circuits and probably different DB'S, the best approach is to issue an EIC and make reference to the EICR in it. In the Extent of Installation section start off by writing "Repairs carried out to rectify C2 observations in EICR No:12345678. Then go on to detail them.

Your EIC can then be appended to EICR and it shows the original observations and then you rectifying them.

Why on earth would you issue an EIC.

Because he is replacing an MCB on one circuit and replacing a back box on another. It keeps it neat on one cert and documents the remedial work .

Yeah, absolutely. His remedial works are alterations.

They will be alterations but wouldn't justify an EIC. An MWC for each job, not as if they're hard to fill out...

A cover letter and an EIC or MWC. Can sometimes be easier to issue an EIC than several MWC.

Why would you issue a cover letter, whatever that is and an EIC for works which at the very least require an Minor Works. If anyone offered me a cover letter it would be the last work I ever offered to them.
