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
perspicacious: 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.
Conflicting risk requirement status?

Liability for the installation could remain with the installer, but the TPV would perhaps still be liable for any faulty advise given in respect to that installation - e.g. if incorrect advise led to significant extra costs which were then found to be unnecessary and the client wanted someone to claim against.
