[moose man]

I been ask about doing a pir for a small factory

Its an insurance issue I would think.

What the companies insurance will accept, and what your insurance covers you to do.

Do you have prof indemnity insurance?

Being part of a scheme has nothing to do with being able to do a PIR or any work for that matter within the Industrial sector as they are prodominantly Part P scheme's which relate to Domestic building regulations.

If you are a Full Scope NAPIT member or an AC for NIC then this will show you hold all the relevant qualifications and insurances in place to work on all electrical systems.

HTH

PI insurance is a MUST when doing PIR's, it covers you for the work you do but most importantly for the professional advice you give relating to the work or any improvements you recommend whilst performing the inspection etc.

Moose,

Many insurance companies will only accept PIR's from registered scheme providers unfortunately, especially the larger ones.

It will be in the T's & C's of the policy.

You don't need to do a PIR on an industrial site IF and it is a big IF the installation is fully supervised & managed, e.g. a Corus site for example.

If not then PIR it once and supervise after.

Erm.... Thats notwithstanding the minor fact that a lot of the electrical contracting bodies were all about and functioning, (predominantly within the commercial sector), approx 40+ years BEFORE Part-P was even thought off!!!!!!

Go check out NICEIC, ECA, BSI etc.. all have celebrated 50+ years anniversaries IIRC...

Please don't try to imply Part-P is the ONLY thing that has a requirement for membership of an approved contractor body!

Original question:-

Anyone competent can do a PIR..

But as has been said some companies/organisations will stipulate membership of a scheme...

others wont mind..

IF the pooh hits the fan, Public Liability will NOT cover you for advice given, only work done.

Professional Indemnity provides cover for disputes over advice.

Relevant City & Guides and years service within the trade are some of the key competence measures.
