Electrical Certification
Electrical Installation Certificates (EICs) and Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificates (MEIWCs) provide you, as the person responsible for the safety of an electrical installation, with a declaration that the new installation, or alteration or addition, is safe to use at the time it was put into service.
An EIC must be issued for all new electrical installations. It may also be required for an alteration or addition to the installation – depending upon whether or not a new circuit has been installed. Where an alteration or addition is carried out but does not include a new circuit, a MEIWC or an EIC may be used.
As a registered contractor, here at Hartwell Electrical Contractors, we will issue the correct certification for any work undertaken.
- New - where the whole installation has been installed as new, if a complete rewire has been carried out.
- Addition - applies if an existing installation has been modified by adding one or more new circuits.
- Alteration - applies where one or more existing circuits have been modified or extended (for example to add a socket), or items such as a consumer unit (fusebox) and switching equipment have been replaced.
You should ensure that you keep the paperwork for all completed electrical installation work and periodic inspection and testing. All certificates and reports should include schedules of inspections and test results.
The type of certification or report you receive depends on the extent and type of electrical installation work, or inspection and testing, that you have had carried out. We will be able to advise on all certification requirements.
