Part P third party

KevinP
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

    The mindset is"How do we do a job that "complies" with the law.


    1/ Use a registered competant person to take care of the whole thing - Yes good.   or

    2/ Use a third party verifier who complies with all of the rules - Ok   or

    3/ Get someone to sign it off either as their own or as third party verified even if all that is not quite true. no bad!

    4/ An Electrician or DIYer does it himself but follows correct LABC procedures - Ok


    I suspect no 3, in practice, happens a lot of times, naughty - or completely ignored as "it was in place before 2005" yer right!
