    MWC or EICR

    Hi all. I normally get a lot of remedial work from the other guys who carry out the EICRS. Some of the faults might include untraceable circuits, which after a bit of investigation can normally be found. Now, when I find these circuits then I inspect, test, and complete a separate EICR...

    Testing for MWC

    Hi all, I have recently finished a job and need to do the necessary tests to fill out the MWC. Can I do the earth fault loop impedance test with all lights on as this is in an office environment and switching all lights off is not practical. Also doing the insulation resistance test is not...

    Is it acceptable to enter low IR on MWC

    When doing minor works on a circuit, which may take a very short time to complete and it requires a MWC the IR test between L-N and E may be zero due to other electronic items. You can end up spending 10 times longer looking for and disconnecting them just to get a good IR reading. The company...

    IR testing results on MWC

    Interested to know what other people do about IR testing results on a MWC. If your additions contain new fixed wiring then you test that and record those results, obviously. But what if you're just replacing a fitting with a brand new one, the IR testing of which seems pointless? Do you leave...

    MWC - Nice wording

    Got a light fitting to change tomorrow and I am half doing my cert but I cannot think of a good way to put "L/N" IR Omitted because it would take all day to remove the lamps on a whole floor. Anyone got any ideas or standard wording. I know the tests for a like for like are not really required...

    MWC or EIC for new wall lights

    Hello everyone Fitting some new wall lights off downstairs light circuit, there is no RCD protection on the circuit so therefore replacing MCB with a RCBO. Am I right in thinking I have to issue an EIC as I have changed the characteristics of the circuit. Thanks Paul
