A Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate (MEIWC) certifies additions and alterations to an existing installation that do not extend to a new circuit. It is the BS 7671 model form used for smaller jobs such as adding a socket outlet or a lighting point to an existing circuit.
TradePlanr lets you fill in the whole Minor Works certificate on your phone while you are at the property. You describe the work, record the test results for the circuit you altered, and sign it off before you pack up.
You then generate a tidy PDF to give to the client, so a quick job does not turn into paperwork back at the office.
TradePlanr generates this and 35+ other gas, electrical, oil, plumbing and renewables certificates as proper PDFs — filled on site, signed on screen and stored against the job. Works even with no signal. Free to download.
A Minor Works certificate is used when you make an addition or alteration to an existing circuit that does not involve installing a new circuit. Typical examples are adding an extra socket, moving an accessory, or replacing a section of a circuit.
If the job creates a new circuit, or is a new installation, you should issue an Electrical Installation Certificate instead. The certificate must be given to the person ordering the work.
As with other domestic electrical work in England and Wales, some jobs may be notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, and the certificate helps demonstrate compliance with BS 7671.
Record the client, the installation address and a clear description of the addition or alteration you carried out.
Add the details of the existing circuit you worked on, including the protective device and the supply arrangement.
Enter the test readings for the altered circuit, such as continuity, insulation resistance, polarity, loop impedance and RCD operation.
Confirm the work meets BS 7671, sign on screen and generate a branded PDF to hand or email to the client.
Use a Minor Works certificate for additions or alterations that do not create a new circuit. If the work adds a new circuit or is a whole new installation, an Electrical Installation Certificate is required.
No. The Minor Works certificate includes a section for the test results of the circuit you altered, rather than a full schedule of test results for the whole installation.
The Minor Works certificate has a single declaration, signed by the person responsible for carrying out the work.
Yes. TradePlanr lets you describe the work, record the circuit test results, sign on screen and issue the PDF from your phone on site.
