Testing and handover for worked-on electrical accessories

Understand the checks and documents that may follow socket, switch, spur or isolator work at an existing point.

A useful handover should explain what was changed, which checks were completed, whether the point is ready to use and which document, if any, applies to the work.

Which document means what

  • An Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) certifies the installation work described on it, such as a new circuit. It is not a condition report for the whole home.
  • A Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate can record a minor addition or alteration that does not include a new circuit.
  • An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) reports on an existing installation only within its recorded extent and limitations.
  • The circuit schedules and test results form part of the document. Keep every page together for future work.
  • A focused accessory visit is not automatically an inspection of the whole home.

What a useful handover should include

  • A plain explanation of what was replaced or repaired, the checks completed and any point that should remain out of use.
  • The appropriate certificate or record when one applies, with the work, extent, limits and results filled in clearly.
  • Any separate recommendation should distinguish an important electrical issue from an optional improvement.
  • For work that needs electrical inspection, testing, certification or notification, we arrange the appropriate registered professional and confirm responsibilities before work starts.
