Which certificate

[dazj90]

I've got a small office which was connected to a B32 MCB, inside the office it had a 2kW heater, 58W luminaire and 2 x double sockets.
The sockets and heater have been removed, just leaving the 58W luminaire.

Replacing the supply MCB from B32 to B6, would this warrant a minor works or would this require a full installation certificate.

If you apply the regs to the letter, changing the ocpd says an eic should be used.

Common sense says a MWC should be used...

Seem to recall asking similar question myself a while back, most replies said EIC not required for change ocpd.

I did ask my scheme, Elecsa 'A Minor Works Certificate would be appropriate for changing a single protective device. Please read attached article for further guidance'.

Can't attach from Connections - Fully Charged - but I've copied & paste the relevant piece;

Certsure do a quarterly rag called Connections; technical bit 'Fully Charged' sometimes not a bad read.

This particular one was Summer 2015 (page 42-43); Connections - Summer 2015 - https://issuu.com/redactive/docs/con_sum15_full

PS managed to find the article this time, surprised myself
