When they brought part p out it seemed to put a blanket ban on people doing their own work, I'm a industrial tech so have never done part p, rang the orifices and they said no problem

Basically you need to be certificated to do and more importantly certify electrics. It appears the OP used to be certificated and has just been told that he can self certificate his install.

Good stuff! my local authority wont let you do a thing, wanted 180 to inspect each one of my jobs, and i was far more qualified and experienced than the noddies they send out to inspect the work. even then they would only look the final test certificate and have a glance round at first fix, needless to say i registered my self and never gave them a penny!

Was in the same boat my self that's why I registered ,just glad the inspector is a understanding guy,I had notified just over 400 jobs that's one of the reasons that went in my favour with him

Certified to install? Since when?

A lot of people get Part p confused it's not a exam it's an organisation , it took a few years for the public to realise sparks had to be on a register to work and sign installs of,ten percent of the public are still oblivious to this

I am not sure I understand what all this is about.

To work in a domestic property you have to in a organisation like Elecsa ,niceic , like having gas work done the installer has to be gas safe

Certified to install? Since when?

About ten years at a guess

[PUSC]

if in doubt talk to NAPIT

[glb8686]

Bullet, is it not a 'competent person'?

Reason why

In fact I find that insulting you don't know me so how can you comment on wot I am or not

Huh?

 

I meant, to install you only have to be deemed a 'competent person' not hold any qualifications.

Sorry mate didn't understand the way you put it over

[-Mongrel-]

Bullet, is it not a 'competent person'?

You're probably right, however, most authorities/companies/insurers etc only deem you to be competent if you hold the relevant qualifications. To be paid for it you must be registered, same as in gas work.

[glb8686]

Pretty sure you don't need quals to install. To test, yes, but not install.

[bullet1747]

To join a scheme the least you have to have is the 17 th edition ,to test you need 2391

[glb8686]

I know this. But nowhere does it say you need any of these things to install.

[-Mongrel-]

Nope, you are right. If you install into your own home then you don't need any qualifications, but, if it's part of an extension for example, then the electrics will need to be certified, you can't do that as a layman.

 

If you are being paid for it and not qualified, you will be working illegally.

Just clarify I am more than qualified to do the electrics in my or any one house ,I'm not in the part p schemes any more as I don't have to be

[Psyxologos]

thanks bullet1747 and well done!

Because you no longer do domestic electrical work?

[LondonLuke]

I'm not sure I understand this thread, my understanding is that if you want to do new circuit or alterations to existing circuit in a domestic property and are being paid for it then it had to be signed off? Thus the easiest option for most was NICEIC, NAPIT, etc

[-Mongrel-]

The being paid for it is what makes the difference though Luke. The OP can do the wiring and apparently as an ex installer, building control are going to let him sign it off too.

That's correct
