Proving competence for 18th edition design

LB149

I am working an Independent Connections Provider, typically designing housing and I&C networks and supplies to the IDNO meter meter location. 

We have recently gained our NICEIC accreditation for installations after the meter to allow us to complete EVCP projects fully up to the chargers. 

2 of our engineers have been signed off as approved through the NECIEC registration scheme, and have 18th edition. 

I am Incorporated Engineer with 9 years experience of design, but no history of after meter design, or 18th edition qualifications. 

What would I be required to gain in order to sign off and approve designs done for after the meter installations? I am having trouble proving what NECIEC class as "competance". 

Can anyone share any guidance?

    The competence standard for electrical work is set out in The Electricity at Work Regulations 1899 Regulation 16. These can be found with the HSE Guidance in HSE HSR25 which can be dowloaded free from the internet.

    I do not  think the NICEIC make any specific requirements for designers?

    You do not sat what your IEng professional registration applies to or who has registered you, IET? As a professionally registered person yopu have to comply with the Principles for engineering professionals.

    You do not  say what qualifications you have that relate to Low Voltage electrical design? If I were interviewing you for a job  to carry out electrical design I would be looking for qualifications in BS7671 18th Edition and the City and Guilds 2396 Design qualification. Also what experience do you have?

    Hope this helps?
