Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificates

The minor works certificate has been designed and intended for use where additions and alterations to an installation do not extend to a new circuit.

Examples of minor works could be seen as:

  • addition of sockets to an existing radial or ring final circuit
  • additional lighting to an existing lighting circuit
  • relocation of sockets and switches
  • switched and non switched fused spurs
  • replacement of accessories and lighting

It is very important to note that installations must comply with BS7671 – 18th edition wiring regulations and in order to complete a minor works certificate appropriate testing and inspecting must be completed.

These minor works certificates should be given to the owner of the property and a copy retained by the contractor who completed the works. Its important to remember that for every circuit that has been adjusted or changed a minor works certificate is required. Should the installation work be more extensive an electrical installation certificate should be completed.

Certificates should be retained and kept in a safe place and shown to any contractor that undertakes further electrical works on the installation.
