Re Part P Certification. Does a third party have to physically test an installation himself or is it sufficient to trust the test evidence of the electrician that did the work. I have been asked this by a neighbour and whilst I once knew the wiring regs I am no longer up to date (and not practicing). Thanks
My assumption was that he needs to do an actual test and inspection but perhaps not.
I would suggest that it's back to the "risk/reward" that the third party electrician is prepared to take on and be able to justify should there be an event that occurred due to incorrect electrician 1 work. So long as the Authority has a piece of paper that is from a perceived credible body, they can grip the bar and say "what else could we have reasonably expected to do?" and it gets dumped back onto the signatory,,,,,,,,,,,,
