If I was, I wouldn't be spending hours online trying to find out what to do about all of this. From the posts above, it seems pretty unclear whether electricians would always take the same approach to detailing on certification anyway, albeit I take your point, they are certainly not...

It's a combined declaration. I see where you're going with that... As to John's point, you're partly right, though obviously I'm also concerned that any "illegality" would trickle down to me under Building Regs compliance.

So, in the circumstances, would you suggest amending the existing certificate if possible and, if not, getting a MWC to cover the bathroom lighting and shaver socket? I'm guessing the other domestic lighting (replacing downlighters with LEDs) would not need to be specifically mentioned, as they...

How are circuit details typically recorded?

No to both, thankfully!

(I also failed to mention the new shaver socket in the bathroom. Could that be picked up by the MWC which also identifies the lighting?)

Thanks John. The result of which presumably means I also require two Building Reg certificates once they have been submitted through NICEIC?

Quick follow up to this post: if the bathroom lighting is an extension to an existing circuit, would this require a separate minor works EIC to the full EIC for the consumer unit? Getting some conflicting reports offline.

ericmark - though they presumably allow you to sleep well knowing that your house is less likely to burn to the ground, avoid a £5,000 fine and sell your house easily without nervous buyers questioning the legality of the installation.

It was undertaken last week, with second fix yesterday. Certificate was brought yesterday too. I understand however that some schemes (NICEIC included) may not allow third party certification, which could cause a problem...

So the result seems to be that my EIC from the registered NICEIC guy covers the RCD (subject to inclusion of a comma) and probably the rest of the work (i.e. down-lighters, particularly in bathroom), but isn't enough. That guy needs to send the EIC off to NICEIC and I need a CC to follow. Have...

Thanks both. Who should issue the Compliance Certificate - the unregistered installer or the registered EIC issuer? And does the CC need to specify anything in particular? Electrician has just told me "you are fully covered on your insurance for up to 10 years". No idea what relevance this has!

Thanks for the speedy reply. There's no comma - the wording is as I've typed it. The certificate is a full 3-pager, with each circuit tested and the results on the second page (R1 and R2). I was just unsure about whether it covered key areas, such as the fire/water proof properties of the new...

Hello all, I recently hired an unregistered electrician to convert my spots around the house to LEDs, insert new bathroom lighting, and replace my main RDC panel. He brought a registered electrician round for sign-off for certification purposes. I have the BS 7671 certificate, which covers...
