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?

    Perhaps I have got the wrong end of the stick but it would seem that your company is NICEIC registered with two engineers with QS status. As there are three signatories on the EIC, I see no reason why you cannot sign for design providing you deem yourself competent (or in BS7671 terms, skilled, (see 132.1). Regulation 644.5 also requires that you are competent to verify that the requirements of BS7671 have been met.
