The householder is NOT responsible for notifying your work - but they are responsible for complying with the building regulations relevent to the work that you have carried out.

Where DO people get all of this vacuus s**t from? BS7671 does not state that PVC t&e cannot be used outside - it merely suggests that materials and methods of construction/installation should be suitable for both the anticipated use and environmental conditions. Since BS7671 is...

Clearly being a brain-dead sheep is no obstacle to being an assessor..... In reality, the scams have little confidence in the ability of their "assessed enterprises" - I wonder why?  ]:) ]:) ]:)

They get away with such practices because the electrical industry has point-blank refused to accept any meaningful standards for an "electrician" - for purely commercial reasons. This has left the public subject to VERY dodgey practices and attitudes. Say that a customer asks the man on the...

The Italians used to take some beating. Their old system of requiring contacts to close to energise a coil to STOP a machine was frightening - especially on vibrating machinery with all of those loose connections after transit from the continent .... 

I well remember questioning the vphase gang at the Ricoh a few years ago - they were so ******* useless I moved on to the scam provider stalls - who proved to have even less credibility than the previous snake-oil salesmen.  I can only assume that both parties expect the vast majority of...

I need to be, the Select Committee enquirey will soon be moving on to the next stage - and they will NOT be happy with the extremely dodgey review carried out by DCLG ....  :innocent

My deposition is lodged with a soliciitor for forwarding to the Select Committee in the event of an untimely death.  ]:) And it is "you're" not "your" .....  :innocent

The INFORMATION required by the model forms included in BS7671 are usually regarded as the minimum required to demonstrate a duty of care under the EAWR. Company or Scam logo's are totally meaningless with regards compliance with any standard whatsoever. It must be noted that in BS7671 the...

I would strongly advise anyone considering submitting evidence to read the letters submitted following the farcical meeting on the 2nd September.  It must be remembered that the "call for evidence"  appears to be a direct consequence of the subject matter of the letters submitted therefore the...

There is NO requirement for an NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in installation purely and simply because the Schemes are not geared up to make money out of courses that exceed a few days.   Less than 20% of SCHEME assessed individuals have any installation training or qualifications - when you take...

It's difficult to be confrontational - when they won't take me on in the first place ....

There seems to be much confusion regarding this case - I assume that the "bar-stool experts" have been busy. :innocent I find it rather concerning that people are so ready to defend incompetent work. I can assure you that you are NOT in full possession of the facts.  The issue of who put...

Absolute rubbish - any competent person can question the safety or standard of electrical work carried out as long as they have knowledge and experience in the relevant sector. I can (and have) complained about **** work by members of all Schemes. The fact that the Schemes already know that...

One thing`s for certain - the public may think that they are employing the services of a Registered enterprise BUT that in no way ensures that the work is actually carried out by someone that knows what the hell they are doing. The dangerous practices endemic in the industry ( i.e. those of...

http://sparksafeltp....2/#.UXGVIaLYezk The site states the requirement for a "qualified electrician" should be an installation qualification and training - so who thinks that they will be deemed a "qualified electrician" and who would be classed as a labourer under such a common sense licensing...

I have a few ideas .... here`s one : http://sparksafeltp.org/news/electrical-industry-calls-for-voluntary-licensing-scheme-2/#.UXGVIaLYezk The site states the requirement for a "qualified electrician" should be an installation qualification and training - so who thinks that they will be deemed...

and I`m still here, watching - and missing NOTHING ....  ] :) Personally, I think that the general design of consumer units etc is being held back by the vested interests of the "manufacturers" (or, more correctly, the  companies masquerading as manufacturers who bulk buy and screen print...

That would depend on if the individual in question has the required DESIGN KNOWLEDGE, which, as is clearly evident from so many replies on this forum, many do NOT. Quite how someone with a total lack of design knowledge can sign for design by way of an EIC or MW is quite beyond me. Perhaps...

I find the concept of "competence" quite interesting .... What abilities do you feel that a "competent" individual requires in order that they be allowed to work unsupervised? i.e. at what level should the bar be set? Forget qualifications - they can be messed with and fiddled in endless ways...
