Building Regulation applications for electrical work
You can also comply with Part P by submitting a Building Regulation application.
- Where an electrician registered with a recognised trade body such as NICEIC, ECA and NAPIT (who need not be registered under a competent person's scheme) tests the work and issues a design, installation and test certificate under BS7671. Building Control will accept the certificate as evidence that the work complies with Part P. Additional inspections by Building Control may also be carried out in conjunction with the acceptance of a certificate (a list of those electricians competent to inspect and test will be available on the internet at www.labc.uk.com ).
- Where the work is carried out by an unregistered electrician or is a DIY installation, the applicant is required to have the work inspected and tested by a registered electrician as shown above.
If you choose not to use a supplier who is registered with a full scope or defined scope scheme you will need to submit a full plans Building Control application for notifiable electrical work.
We require a note on the plans which states: All electrical work required to meet the requirements of Part P (Electrical Safety) must be designed, installed, inspected and tested by a person competent to do so.
Prior to completion of the work, we must be satisfied that Part P has been complied with. This may require an appropriate BS7671 electrical installation certificate to be issued for the work by a person competent to do so.
