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?

    I reckon ordinary certification could issued in the normal way (e.g. MW if it's just on one circuit, multiple MW or an EIC if more than that). In effect the fault-finding provides the "design" and the rectification is the "construction" of the addition or alteration - which is then I&T'd as appropriate the 'new work'.
