Certification for fault finding and rectification

Chris Pearson
I think that, strictly, no certification is required, but it seems to lie somewhere between an MWC and an EICR.


Cooker circuit wouldn't stop tripping. It also served a couple of sockets as well as the cooker hood.


L-N short discovered in a section of cable, which supplied a socket and which was isolated. (Buried beneath kitchen tiles (no capping) and difficult to see what could have damaged it; portion beneath the floorboards was undamaged.)


Dead and live tests all satisfactory, cooker working again, job done. ?


Having done all the tests, it seems to be a pity not to record them formally. What do you think?

    Disconnecting defective spur and testing to investigate tripping of RCD ?,

    I'd have said was an example of "minor works", perhaps plus some notes at the bottom about the damaged cable under floor isolated and test results if you wish to help the next person to work on it, perhaps to fix non-working socket....

    Equally there is nothing stopping you issuing your own paperwork for "works of intermediate complexity" if you feel the need.

    More realistically, a covering letter sent  with the bill is probably the only thing that will actually get read in many cases maybe put it there as notes for any following electrician.

    Equally when was the last time a customer pressed the previous certification and a design pack of drawings into your hand and said, " you'll need this I presume" ?

    I'm kind of assuming almost never, so I think whatever you do it will most likely be lost...
