For an EIC you have to measure and record Ipf, Ze, verify connections of protective conductors and locations if not obvious, record supply protective device details, maximum demand, main switch details, recommendation date of next inspection. As far as I'm aware, those details are not required for a MIWC. That additional testing and documentation , was what I was referring to.

You still check all of the basic requirements though, it's just that there is a single sentence on the minor works mentioning this rather than a full record as on the EIC.
 
So you do an Ipf & Ze on minor works?

No, that's not what I said is it? I said you still check all of the basic requirements, which includes bonding etc.
If I think it necessary I'll test Zdb and PEFC, I'm not so daft as to blindly test only the things which have a box for the results.
Do you ignore the r1+rN test when testing a ring just because there isn't a box to write the number in on a model EIC?

No I don't, but that's not my point. I don't believe you should pick and choice what tests to do and N/A others, just purely because you can put more circuits on an EIC than a MWC. If I'm told otherwise by my learned friends, then I stand corrected.

You do the same tests on a circuit regardless of what paperwork you will be filling in afterwards.

a certificate is a bit of paper, if it records what you need then job done, you state on the first page what works has been completed so n/a means not applicable which those results aren't. You've done the work completed your tests record it and move on. Who really is gonna care. If rather give a customer one certificate rather than a handful of minor works.
