[QUOTE="green-hornet, post: 250161, member: 2683"] I have wrote another report for the new consultation process, by the way there is an online petition which if you agree with part p being kept you should all consider signing. I have. The problem we are faced with is if and when they will decide to relax the rules, the main reason for Part P in the first place was to reduce the deaths, injuries and fires caused by badly installed electrical systems. Part P HAS been effective, in that a reduction of (from memory) 17% in reported electrical faults. Removing some minor works from the notification process will only lead to an increase in electrical dangers, lets face it, knowing your work could be assessed makes every job you do, you do to the best of your ability. If a kitchen fitter can say the same then well done he. lets not forget that any alteration done should comply with BS7671 and this ,for those who have no test equipment is impossible. The relaxed rulings to allow a registered electrician to sign off third party installations is a joke, we are faced with this almost on a daily basis, and are only being asked to do so because they do not wish to pay for your knowledge, especially as the local handyman can do your job for [/QUOTE]
