Sample questions
01What certificate is required after a new consumer unit is installed?
- AMinor Electrical Installation Works Certificate
- BElectrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)
- CPAT testing certificate
- DElectrical Installation Certificate (EIC)
Why: Replacing a consumer unit is new work requiring an EIC; a MEIWC covers only minor additions/alterations not involving a new circuit, and an EICR assesses existing installations.
02What is the difference between an EIC and a MEIWC?
- AAn EIC is for new work, a MEIWC for minor alterations
- BAn EIC needs no testing, a MEIWC requires full testing
- CAn EIC is for domestic work, a MEIWC for commercial
- DAn EIC is issued annually, a MEIWC only once
Why: An EIC covers new installations and additions of new circuits; a MEIWC covers minor alterations such as adding a socket to an existing circuit.
03What information is required in the 'extent of installation covered' section of an EICR?
- AThe specific areas and circuits inspected and tested
- BThe names of all previous occupiers
- CThe original date of installation only
- DThe estimated value of the installation
Why: The extent section must specify exactly which areas and circuits were included in the inspection, so the report scope is unambiguous.
