Electrical Installation Certificate vs Minor Works Certificate

The broad difference between EIC and Minor Works documentation.

This is general customer guidance only. Electrical work, testing, certification and pricing must be reviewed by VLV Electrical Ltd.

Broad difference

An Electrical Installation Certificate is generally associated with new circuits, consumer unit changes or larger installation work. A Minor Works Certificate is generally for certain smaller additions or alterations.

Scope decides

The actual work, installation and testing requirements determine which documentation is appropriate.

Frequently asked questions

Can I request a specific certificate?

You can explain what documentation you need, but VLV must issue the certificate that matches the work and testing actually completed.
