What qualification is required to inspect against Edition 18?

In order to be able to inspect against Edition 18, what qualification is required? I've been referred to City & Guilds 2391-52 Level 3 Award in Inspection and Testing...

One of my Engineers is IEng with IET, and has various C&G qualifications including City & Guilds/NICEIC – BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 (18th Edition Wiring Regulations). Through these and associated experience he is qualified to higher than Level 3 (Manager/Coordinator Level I'm told).

Is this sufficient to be able to sign the inspection forms? I did see in a previous thread that there isnt an actual formal qualification, so I think the above would be sufficient, but that thread was 2 year ago.

Thanks...
