Part P consultation

Evans Electric · Mar 19, 2012

The government has announced a consutation on Part P of the Building Regs .

The review is being undertaken following industry concern that it places an unnecessary burdon on homeowners and electricians by increasing costs and bureaucracy.

They think there may be three possible outcomes:- ( Quoting ECN Magazine)

1) Leave it as it is.

2) Scrap the whole thing completely.

3) Revise it to remove the inconveinience and resulted costs.

I can't see No,s 1 & 2 happening TBH so what does the Forum think ?

( Its your only chance to comment because as usual the rank and file won't be consulted.) :C

Is it not a forgone conclusion that opt 3 is the only choice that will be taken.

It reduces the bureaucracy whilst still giving a guise to the public that there is an approved method in place.

As with most authoritative decisions full of hot air and as much use as a chocolate teapot.
