15th edition

[jacko57]

Hi guys,
i took the 15th edition in my apprenticeship.....a good few years ago....

I am a general builder,and have been completing all my own electrical work,keeping up with current regs,up till the wonderful part p introduction.

I'm becoming increasing P*****d at the restrictions imposed by part p,and the sheduling of works around electricians visits.

Can anyone inform me ,as to what trade body will inspect and test works carried out by a competent person,as i understand niclec don't go for this(like to keep it in house(wonder why).

I don't think anyone is allowed to sign off anyone elses work as compliant with the building regs other than local area building control.
Have you thought about joining a competent person scheme, that way you can sign your own work off as compliant?

Cheers sparky for the reply,where would i seek such a course?

You could try the competent persons schemes such as NICEIC, NAPIT, ECA etc as they all have their own different levels of qualification for acceptance.
