Hi I am new to the forum and quite impressed. I've been in the game for 20 years and are still learning new things.
We have had this argument at work coinciding with Testing and the 17th Edition, with Part P.
I have been told by a Tutor in a Lancashire college who deals with City Electrical, that under current legislation anyone who passes the 17th update does not have to do the Part P course as this ties in with the European Union.
As our European bretherin can install over here without the Part P qualification.
Is there any truth in this.
As I understand anyone can fill in a Certificate and sign it off ( As long as they are competent in the knowledge of ). The problem lies in the fact if someone got hurt and it goes to court the 2391 answers all relevant questions of being Certified competent.
A fellow Tester claims he cannot test a Domestic dwelling for P.I.R, because of Part P. Yet Commercial and Industrial is not a problem. I thought if you had the 2391 Qualification, you are qualified to test any Electrical Installation apart from Compex testing.
Thanks for your help
