Part P consultation

[Evans Electric]

If you are interested in the forthcoming Part P consultation you can read and respond to it .

Its online at:-

Consultations - Corporate - Department for Communities and Local Government

I started reading it but boredom was setting in but I was concerned with some of the proposals , namely to make it easier for what they call "DIY Electricians" to carry out work and issue certs to LBC .

I'll have another read of it tomorrow , we can respond before April 27.

Don't bother if you're Welsh ,its just the English it affects apparently and as U NO OO keeps telling us , it doesn't exist in Scotland.

I didn't see how to respond but it must be there somewhere.

If any Forumites have an opinion lets give it to 'em with both barrels.

The link won't appear in full for some reason , I've typed more than that. I'll try again in ordinary text.

Try this one

2012 consultation on changes to the Building Regulations in England: Section three - Part P (Electrical safety - dwellings) - Planning, building and the environment - Department for Communities and Local Government

Just gave it a quick read. My concerns so far are: Question 3, Para 41b

To me, any electrician doing this would be taking over from Building Control. Checking at 1st and 2nd fix.

Who can guarentee being there when the customer demands it(no doubt with as little notification as possible), and no doubt going back several times after telling them what requires rectifying.

You'll be spending more time doing this, than doing actual electrical work, and for not a lot of money, if they say the fees will be coming down.

Just tried to fill in answers online but it wouldn't let me type in the answer boxes , so I printed it off.

Also notice on the page " Which box describes your organisation" out of 25 occupations "Electrician" would have to go under "Other" (please specify) headbang

That's the problem you see; Part P doesn't really affect electricians that much, it affects builders, plumbers, bathroom fitters, kitchen fitters, landscape gardeners, etc far more

We only have to pick the pieces up
