[QUOTE="ianmacd, post: 73711, member: 2977"] Like for like MCB swap (6A wylex for 6A wylex for example) then yes a MWC but you are not just modifying an existing circuit by not putting an identical device back in you are potentially changing the characteristics of that circuit. For this reason, I have done EIC's in the past, but I do see where you are coming from and may defer what I do next time until I am in that position again. I guess the argument really comes down to "is it provisioning of a new circuit"? I can see reasons on both sides of this and, as usual, the BRB is far too vague in this. If the bonding cables are not up to spec (or missing) then that needs fixing even before you start any other work but thats true of any work but my MWC I use have a checkbox for that anyway. I think the bottom line here (as we are just discussing semantics now) is either would seem to be acceptable and the OP should do whichever he is comfortable with. Ian. [/QUOTE]
