On the back of the other threads re EICRs in rentals, the Wow, wow, wow thread etc I thought I'd throw this out there.
On the .gov site it says in the guide for landlords:
The electrical safety industry has established competent person schemes. Membership of these will not be compulsory to ensure there is no further pressure placed on the industry, nor undue burden placed on inspectors and testers.
When commissioning an inspection, in order to establish if a person is qualified and competent landlords can:
check if the inspector is a member of a competent person scheme; or
require the inspector to sign a checklist certifying their competence, including their experience, whether they have adequate insurance and hold a qualification covering the current version of the Wiring Regulations and the periodic inspection, testing and certification of electrical installations.
As I say, just throwing it out there but on the question of competency would the imspection and testing element of the 2330 tick a box for this rather than the 2391? It emcompasses all the GN3 testing procedures. I'd say I'm competent, have experience and hold the 18th cert. One random though is I did the 2330 at the time the 17th was in place. Extract from all my 2330 paperwork below.
It'd be much easier if "they" said you MUST have the 2391 etc. The bold text aboove taken off the web site is imo pretty badly written and just confusing.
(I'm not about to go out and do landlord's testing and inspecting btw, don't hold insurance and so on).
