Who do you give the EIC or MWC to?

[Risteard]

So if you are working for a builder, what's the point in giving it to them?

Because you are required to by BS7671.

I came across a fault today, no continuity (r1 and rn) on a socket on supposed RFC. I was just moving existing socket from one wall to an adjacent wall. The property has had a recent A3 CU replacement, which you would of thought, picked this up. Owner on hols, but I have a sneaky suspicion, by the workmanship, not suggesting such of you Bob, that there is not a cert to refer to.

EIC, MW or anything to look at respectively is useful IMO. Don't get me wrong Bob, when I did this stuff in the last century, I didn't have a test meter, and certificates were something you got as an apprentice.

Hum........ if a builder is extending a house, the person "ordering" the work is the home owner surely?

What would the average builder do with a pile of EIC's and MWC's?

No - of course not. The person ordering the electrical installation work is likely the main contractor unless the owner directly engaged you.

The builder should then give any certification given by the subcontractors whether it be electrical , gas etc to the customer, and remember to retain your copies

The builder should be keeping a copy and giving the original certificates to the person ordering the work to them i.e. the homeowner etc.
