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
That is about the crux of it John, hence my continued refusal to become a member of such a scheme. My 'verifier' trusts me implicitly, as do I him, He does enough 'notifiable' work to make it worth his while. We worked together for the same engineering company as employees before we both went on our own. He has a couple of lads working for him now, whereas I am a year or tow short of retirement.
The practice of 'unofficial' third party verification may well be frowned upon, but it is how the world really works, alongside that of no site visits by QS's.
