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
I may add that none of the self cert schemes are charities, the one that was prior to 2005, quickly changed track as they all dashed for the part p trough.
I remember at one of my routine annual assessments prior to about 2004/2005 the Inspector saying something along the lines of "they will all be banging on our door to get in now".
Boy was he was correct! 2004, about 20 voluntary registered contractors in my area. By 2008 it was 200.
I suppose that is where the "instant electrician" boom started.
