EICR test

[Binbag]

Hi,

Telectrix replied it should have been C3 and not C2.
What is the process for raising these type of disagreement to the company who carried out the testing.
What evidence can I provide.

How do I obtain MWC?

You could photocopy of 465 of your 18th edition regs book as that has one version of a minor works certificate on.
Or there is an editable one on this webpage apparently.

When the fitting is replaced your friend should be issued with a minor works certificate for the C2 deficiency as proof that it has been corrected, and pay for that only not a new report.

Depends where the light fitting is inside/outside the zones, depends on the IP requirement, and therefore the C2/C3 Coding!

Last question. Would I be correct in saying if I get MWC done, this is passed to the company who completed the EICR, who will then issue certificate.

No you keep it and submit it to whoever needs to see it. Whoever does the work compiles the Certificate.

Hi westward10,
If the house passes EICR check what sort paper work do you get as confirmation? The estate agents who organise the rent on house has asked for paper work to confirm the work has been done. I would be correct in saying this is the MWC. To get experience I would like to do this kind work myself but I don't have liability insurance. Looking to gain my qualification in Part P and edition 18.

Yes the Minor Works will confirm this.

 

[Binbag]

Yes the Minor Works will confirm this.

Thanks.

Thanks.

and you can do a MWC yourself as long as you are competent and have (or borrow) a MFT to do the tests required.

Hi telectrix,
Yes I have MFT. I am qualified Ecurrently work for the NHS as Electrician.
I have had look at the MWC and it asks for "trading title of electrical contractor" do I just leave this blank?

[telectrix]

you could make your own up. e.g. BB Electrical.if you are considering going self-employed you'll need one anyway.

Hi Telectrix,

Make up my own!!! What happens if the estate agent google it?

The failure was - Bathroom light under 2.25m inside bathroom zone with inadequate ingress protection.
Need to replace ceiling rose fitting with ceiling light, with IP65 rating.

Although I am more than competent on doing the job as I have fitted numerous fittings in my current employment. The only thing that worries me is the liability insurance, which keeps popping up.
I may leave this to another Electrician who has this assurance.

Thank you for the help.
