I have a Periodic Inspection coming up on a small workshop and the customer has advised me that he has converted the storeroom into an office with new lighting and sockets that have not been tested.
It seems unsuitable to issue an EICR on the whole installation without any previous paperwork or...
Hi, I’m researching a small building project. The building is an artist studio block, tenant requires cladding one wall and moving two fluorescent fittings to a higher position on the wall. Landlord is requesting EIC for the electrical work. I understand Part P would consider this minor and...
Going to be doing my first SPD board next week, single module SPD and 32 amp MCB before the RCD protected circuits.
Can I ask how and where you are recording these on the EIC?
I would probably record the mcb as a circuit as usual labeled spd but unsure what I need to record about the actual spd...
Hi guys and girls,
Changed over my first CU today (didn't go bang so I'm classing it a success), with regards to the EIC do I list every circuit and fill it in as if they were new circuits, I've had a look at the best practice guide for CU's and the way i'm reading it it would suggest yes as...
hi, looking at part 4 on EIC declaration for electrical installation work, does anyone know the date bs7671 2018 was amended to?
Also part 8 means of earthing; It’s TNCS supply split to TT so do I tick distributors facility and installation earth electrode?
Thanks
New circuits. Ra of 229 Ohms therefore the rcds are for fault protection by design. Zdb of 0.29 (10mm gas bond) so are the rcds classed as additional protection?
what would you guys put;
Part 7 ; supply and earthing arrangements I have EB incoming which is TNCS earthing but then is split to TT would you tick both?
Part 8 ; says Maximum demand (load) what would you put I have 2X 160 amp BS 88 fuses
Hello. Am a competent electrician - been taught by qualified electricians, but have no qualifications myself. I will be doing a complete rewire for a friend in Dunstable/Luton area and was wondering if it was more worthwhile to get a NICEIC/equivalent rated electrician in to produce an EIC or...
Just want to pick your brains.
When your completing the EIC on a consumer unit upgrade,what do you guys put on these parts of the schedule of inspections.
Section 8.3, 8.7.
My accessor said I should put “LIM”, but you can’t put “LIM” on a EIC! Obviously for section 8.7 you can’t possibly...

A question came up today - do you actually have to have any qualifications to issue an EIC? It would show conformity of the installation to BS 7671 so do you have to have taken the 18th regs exam or not? Obviously it is not a sensible idea but i was just wondering? I am reffering to it from...
Hi Everyone,
Just a quick question, in the 18th edition wiring regulations book page 483 the schedule of tests results form it shows IR tests Live-Live & Live-Earth
Are they now going away from the Line-Neutral, Line-Earth & Neautral-Earth & just doing the combined test?
Thanks
Michael
Had an electrician completed re-wire on my property but sent me a scanned copy of EIC. I was hoping I would receive a digital one via E-Cert with his details, etc. Can that be not done – he completes on e-Cert and I receive a copy as well to my email?
Also, I was on the impression that...
Happy New Year everyone! :)
Not that I leave things to the last minute or anything, but... ;)
For those like me who don't use software to fill out their EICs, EICRs and MEIWCs (or write them out by hand), I'm pleased to present updates to my fillable/editable PDF forms, now pretty much...
Wired two RCD sockets on a radial today next to a sub-DB in a large factory unit. The new circuit was connected to an existing redundant 20a MCB which had served a control item which I'd disconnected a while back. Now based on the possibly iffy logic that because the protective device was...
Part Rewire to do, small shop on a large premesis 4 lights, 2 sockets, 2 spurs...The existing DB(DB4) which is staying, is fed via 32A mcb from a sub main DB3. Fed by 63 A mcb in another DB2 which then goes to DB1 which is connected to origin. Took a while to chase through as all DBs are in...
Hi, I've contacted an electrician to install a new consumer unit, as well as a new ring main into the loft. I asked if his quote included the appropriate certification, I assume an EIC, he said "as far as certification is concerned you don't need any as it's straight replacements", I checked my...
