- There have been lots of enquiries about Minor Works Certificates for electrical work that is carried out in people’s homes. Not just from electricians. Some enquiries have come from concerned home-owners who say they have received no paperwork at all from the tradesman. Is this correct, they ask.
So, in this short video we will look at when we should issue a certificate, what for, and why - as it relates to the Wiring Regulations.
This LearnElectrics video will concentrate just on the Minor Works Certificate, or to give it it’s full title, the Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate which is often shortened to MEIWC or MWC.
People ask for information on what needs notifying, must they issue a certificate for everything that they do and when should they use a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate.
And how should the certificate be filled out, what information is required on the certificate?
This is video number 236 and to view all our videos type in LearnElectrics all one word into the CZcams search bar.

On-site Guide suggests an MEWIC for 'replacing circuit-breakers with RCBOs where there is a difference of overcurrent type, e.g. replacing Type C for Type B.
' . Personally I think that altering the tripping characteristics of a circuit warrants an EIC.
Thanks for your input. Appreciated.
Legendary explanation as always
Much appreciated, thank you.
Thanks mate. Clear explanation as ever. Cheers.
Thanks for watching. Dave.
Absolutely amazing these videos, thank you very much! Can you please make a new playlist of the new amendment 18th edition and inspection and testing 2391
Will do. Also, if you go to the website LearnElectrics.com and put Amendment 2 in the search box, you will get a list of all the question and answer Amendment 2 videos with direct links to YT. Thanks for watching. Dave.
Fab content, many thanks!
Thank you, appreciated. Dave.
great videos
can i ask is a SPD Neeeded with with rcbo,s
They are totally different devices. Thanks for watching. Dave.
Great video 👍 shared 👍
Much appreciated comment. Thank you.
Good video again. Can I suggest a video in relation to certification about the notices that have to be attached to the consumer unit or adjacent to it (or not now) I’m thinking schedules and rcd checks, next inspection etc and what has to be at the board and what can be handed over with say the certificate.
Good idea, its on the list now. Dave.
Excellent video as always. One grey area seems to be like-for-like replacement of RCCB/RCBO. The (paraphrased) efinition in regulations is that a ‘circuit’ is attached to a protective device, so in other words the protective device is not part of the circuit a new RCBO etc might not constitute a new circuit. I think general assumption (and best practice) is new RCBO = EIC, but I don’t think there is a regulation that makes that mandatory?
@Teoma I’m not adding any personal logic here.. just read the definition of a circuit like a lawyer would (page 31, brown book)…. The protective device sits outside the circuit, not part of it (albeit attached)…
As Teoma points out, below, removing the protective device and installing a new or different protective device will trigger a notification to Building Control. They need to know that then person doing the changing is competent at doing the job and that the necessary calculations and other requirements have been considered.
Thanks Teoma, spot on. Great support.
See above, Thanks.
