Self employed Electrician set up query

Former Community Member

Hi


I'v just started my new business (as some of you may know from my previous posts) and I have a couple more queries I was hoping I could get assistance with..


1. If some1 has already laid the cables and I'm just connecting up the sockets - Can this be classed as non notifiable? Would I be OK doing a minor works certificate for it?


2. I had plans of joining the NICEIC but was just wondering if there is a quicker route with another scheme to gain competent person status in order to not have to deal with Local authority fees - (I'm dreading the day im going to have to turn down a new circuit install because LA will be charging me £300+ to inspect)

    Regardless of the division of labour, if it's a new circuit or a modification in a bathroom etc, then in theory its notifiable; if not, then its not.




    Am correct in my understanding thats is modifications in a bathroom within the zones? I have extracts to replace that are outside of the zones which I wasnt planning on Notifying...




    Yes, only within zones in a bathroom (or anywhere in a room containing a swimming pool or sauna heater) - building regs definitions of special locations aren't the same as BS 7671's.


    If it's a simple replacement it wouldn't be notifiable anyway, even if within zones.
