What the electrical installation certificate (eic) actually covers
It is the document that proves work was done to BS 7671 and, where notifiable, that it was registered with building control. Missing certificates surface years later during a sale, when a solicitor asks for evidence of the work and there is none.
This applies at any SA10–SA11 address: part P of the Building Regulations covers domestic electrical work in Wales. Certain work is notifiable to building control, which a registered installer can self-certify rather than routing through a separate application.
