Im sorry to bring this up again.

I have read through posts and posts but cant find a specific answer.

All i want to know is:

Any aditional work you carry out has to have certification called Part P. (correct?)

(By additional i mean extension, another ring, conservatory ect. (not just fitting another socket))

Who can provide this cert?

People say its Building Control department (LABC) others say its a person who is part p registered can come and give you a cert if they test your DIY.

I am now lost.

Sorry to bring this back up.

I Have read building-control-part-p-and-corgi-t1215.html which was in 2007, i wondered if anything now is set in stone.

Any input will be greatly appriciated.

-John

part p only applies to special locations like kitchen toilets and out side
other alterations are not covered but should be done to a safe standard

In addition to what big all has stated

Part P is mainly concerned with special locations (Kitchens/Bathrooms) and where there is an addition of a curcuit etc For this type of work an Electrical Installation Certificate is required, this can either be provided by building control or an electrician who is part of a competent person scheme ie (Elecsa, NICEIC or Nappit).

It should also be noted that works outside of special locations (ie bedrooms etc that does not include provision of a new curcuit) still require certification in the way of a Minor work certificate... This can be issued by a competent person...

Gives a list of what is notifiable.

Each LA handles applications differently but I believe that they still expect you to do your own tests and supply your own certificate, they just visually inspect your work and certify the certificate.

A competent person is signed up to a scheme whereby they can cut out the LA involvment (other than notifying the LA that a job has been done). A competent person is not able to sign off someone elses work.

unless it has changed and i don't know, if you look for a "Napit" registered spark, they can sign off your work if they see the 1st fix and then 2nd fix, followed by a test. at least that was how it used to be but if it isn't now i didn't realise.

I believe that all Part P firms could sign the work off if they inspected 1st and 2nd fix. However finding someone to do that could be difficult.

My post would have been clearer had I said "A part P firm cannot sign other peoples work off as their own".

My understanding of signing off other peoples work was you had to have the 2391 Inspection and Testing qualification or equalvilant to help prove competence. (Which is few and far between in itself). In addition to seeing 1st and 2nd fix?? Also the long form (3 sections needed to be completed).
