Hi there. I have just joined this forum to ask a few questions if that's ok.
I have read that any electrical work undertaken in my house must be certified and that this certification would be needed when selling my house.
The thing is, when I bought the house there was no mention of any such...
Hi guys,
I'm a little confused as to how to go about providing certification for domestic.
I always though you HAD to be registered with one of these 3rd party bodies like the NIC. But i've recently learned that you don't neccessarily have to be? Is that really true?
Question 1:
So if I...

Never been the most intuitive piece of software to use.
I am trying to certify / notify a new build but the address isn't in their database as it hasn't been signed off yet. It hasn't been signed off yet because I haven't certified and notified. I am unable to certify or notify because the...
Hopefully I have put this in the right place.
Any advice or guidance on software for EICR and installations? Been using paper versions for years but I suppose I must move with times at some point!!
Most idiot proof is I suppose the top criteria
Thanks in advance

Is there anything else I need?

I am a new sole trader (after 12 years employed) and have only just sent off my NICEIC application, and I need a couple of questions answering please??
.I am contracting to a firm and they are giving me price work also which requires me to send quotes and E.I.C.R reports for possible rewires...
Guys/gals, in a domestic install of smoke/heat detectors, beyond issuing an EIC or Minor Works, do any of you also issue any other form of "fire alarm" certification? If yes, what do you issue?
Many thanks.
Hello. I'm new to this site. I've just started my electrical course, an I'm struggled with understanding of use the certificates.
I have a few questions.
1. When new circuit is installed I should use electrical installation certificate, but do I need to mention all other cicuit on the...
Wondered what your thoughts were, changing light fittings, plugging into existing 5A sockets. Not altered any fixed wiring. How much testing would you do? What certification? If you installed a TV and plugged in to a 13A socket would you certify?
hi Guys
I have often looked at threads for advice and now become a member.
I have a question regarding the certification of a special location and circuit characteristics.
1. I have recently joined the NIC but as yet not got all my membership details through and wondered if there was a certain...
Could someone who uses this software tell me what the Rated Time Delay box is for when filling out the Main switch/ Switch-Fuse/ Circuit-breaker/ RCD section of an EIC?
Is it for the recommend range in which a time delayed rcd should trip 130 - 500ms... or is it something else?
Hi, I am not an electrician and a bit of a novice on these matters, but I was hoping someone out there could help me. I had an electrician do a complete rewiring on a house last year, after the work I paid him in full, but he didnt issue a certificate for the work. I have since been on to him...
Hi All
We do a lot of testing, but this is the first job like this for us.
Basically a company are renewing the cables from a control panel to 7 motors etc, they are taking care of the controls etc.
We are due to test and certify the new SWA cables and terminations etc, which isn't a problem...
I have completed a Shower install with the plumber.
The flat already had a supply from Consumer Unit to 45A Pullcord switch, so I have extended from the switch to Shower.
My question is what certification to issue, MWC or EIC. I'm more inclined to issue MWC.
I'm in Scotland, so no need for...
Hello, Could somebody explain why new regs ie non combustable dbs etc. doesn't come in until January and yet Napit have told me to use amendment 3 forms now. I designed an installation 6 months ago and so was really working to old regs, however I have been told to use new forms. As it happens I...
Hi all,
I will be looking into getting assessed for the first time in the next few weeks, and as i have not previously obtained qualifying supervisor title to my list of credentials i am a little in the dark with it all. I have applied for the full scope certification and have experience in...
Hello all,
Just wondering what your thoughts are on the following questions. I am new to the forum and thought you could shed some light on my issues.
OK... My company have been asked to provide a installation certificate for the completion of a few flats. We did not do the work...
