thanks for the quick reply Andy, am I right in thinking that I do not need to be Part P registered as I have 2330 L2/L3/17th Edition and that I can test and inspect the property myself and sign it off as a competent person. Also does it cost to notify LABC?

 

[Andy™]

yes it costs to notify. you either need to be art p reg to self cert, or notify labc. being qualified makes no difference if your not part p reg'd. but it may make notifying labc easier

as far as i am aware the only people who can sing off work is......

the people who are approved with a scheme eg nic eic and napit.

and let labc know about it as previosy said

cheers

Your first statement is no strictly correct!

Do NOT get confused with the TWO certificates:-

1] An appropriate Electrical certificate as per BS7671.

and

2] a Building regulations Part P compliance certificate.

Any competent person can install test inspect & sign an appropriate electrical certificate regarding the work they have done.

It is the Approved scheme member or LABC who will sign ('actually register detail on-line') for the issue the second one.

Notify LABC

but tell them you are competent and will be doing your own testing & certification.

You issue them with a copy of your EIC..

Providing they are satisfied then they will issue a Building regs compliance cert.

Computer. I can see your replies.
