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
A 3rd Party Verifier has to be appointed before the work starts. They then have to inspect the 1st fix and point out any non-compliances for rectification.
On completion they have to inspect and test the installation and issue a special certificate and notify the LA. I drafted the special certificate for Stroma Certification. There is special dispensation for these 3rd Party Verifiers in respect of liability. I cannot remember the exact details but liability remains with the installer.
3rd Part Verifiers have to have a current Regs. qualification and a Level 3 inspect Qualification and PI insurance and be assessed to do the job.
Only NAPIT run this scheme now with the demise of Stroma. ?
