When do you actually do the paperwork?

Hi

Just a question here regarding testing and certification.

If you got called to a house to replace a socket that had its casing cracked or you put a lovely new B&Q chandelier up for someone would you then do a minor works Cert + Si + STR?

Seems a little overkill to me

If you don't what's the smallest job that you would do it on?

A MEIW cert is only one page and takes no more than 10-15minutes to fill in, providing everything is safe & sound.

Like for like repair/replace = EFLI check and noted in Invoice.

So would you not do a Schedule of Inspections and a Schedule of test results with that then?

Whats paperwork? is that the stuff the customer shoves in you hand, that serves as currency in the local:wink_smile:

NO, not required.

No.

AN MEIW cert is one page, that's it. No additional SOI or SOTR required.

Look at the examples in BS 7671.

if its like for like I wouldn't bother with a cert unless its a rental property.

This job has enough paperwork without doing unnecessary MWC's too. The bloke down the pub won't even raise an invoice let alone a cert!
