The ability to self-declare “competence” should not be possible.

Having looked for the Electrical Safety Round Table website this morning, I left the page open and went back to it again; and have been looking at the campaigns.

Anomaly-with-Approved-Document-P-discussion-paper.pdf (electricalsafetyroundtable.co.uk)

Any thoughts?

  • I see no anomaly at all.  Reading that whitepaper, it looks like the anomaly has been invented by ESR, as part of a campaign to force electricians to join one of the schemes.

    If a competent person, who is not registered with any scheme, decides to do the work, then they must show their qualifications to the LABC.  The LABC then has the choice whether to accept the EIC as is, or to carry out their own inspections.
