What type of cert, if any?

[plumberjohn]

I`m replacing an electric shower,like for like. The existing wire is 6mm, so I don`t have the option to up the size.

I will do usual tests to confirm circuit is ok, but do I need an EIC, orMWC?

none required, but you can use a MWC

I thought anything in a special area need testing even if like for like .... I may be wrong ! I issue certs for most of my work like that... like the chap above said a mwc will do

 

[betty swollocks]

you're doing all the tests anyway so why not fill out a mwc at same time, no need to notify but handing the cert over always gives an impression you're a 'proper' spark who knows what he's doing!

 

[danny7299]

Like that fact you said ' gives the impression "

 

[plumberjohn]

thanks everyone, the concensus seems to be test and issue an MWC. Sounds good to me - still learning so thanks for taking the time to advise.

special location has nothing to do with it. no cert required, and most of the time i wouldnt bother writing one, but nothing to stop you

niceic said the minor is fine but would like to see the eic in the case of a new shower unit ..

just to add a little gravy into the conversation.

 

[Andy™]

nic dont make the regs.

 

[jl-heating]

correct . he just said i would of liked to see a eic for this . ?

 

[Andy™]

ust remind him that 7671 does not require it. after all, he is assessing you to 7671, not the NIC version
