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
Hence my comment about it would be fine if the installer was employed for the day by the company inspecting..
There are so many certificates signed by folk who have not even visited the site for work done by almost anyone working for their company ,that to be honest one more makes no matter, but the original post did ask about how it was supposed to work.
The real questions should be ' has the job been done well ?' as if it there are certificates, and in use it gives no trouble, then the papers (with M. Mouse as signatory perhaps) will be shuffled and filed, an no one will ever ask to see them again, and the system relies on that.
