Seperate EICs

[Daveyboy]

Hi guys, If in a house you changed a consumer unit and fitted 3 new circuits.
would you use 1 eic or seperate eics for each circuit? I keep getting conflicting views

Thanks

No, one certificate is sufficient. You'll be detailing all the work carried out on the certificate, i.e the DB change and details of the additional circuits anyway

Yes just the one EIC.
You would have a choice of multiple MWCs or a single EIC if you had made additions or alterations to number of existing circuits.

With the elecsa certs it has the max zs permitted by bs7671 do you put down the figures as in bs7671 or use the 0.8x rule? Thanks

As in bs7671....because that is the maximum permissible Zs....Confusing though,because if any circuits exceeded the 80% rule of thumb you would possibly have to do something about it.
