Quite so - and as I'm always saying, if they want to inevnt it, they also need to invent a way of defining what it would mean - in a world in which small (sometimes large) changes in products are happening all the time!Why do people keep inventing that term?
Given that these are the Part P regulations, I'm not sure I follow your reasoning.It has been stated many times the Part P regulations was really to allow an electrician to work on his own house which is of course DIY.
That's an oxymoron.
I've no idea who stated that, but it makes absolutely no sense. Part P applies to any domestic electrical work, regardless of who does it or whose house (s)he does it in.It has been stated many times the Part P regulations was really to allow an electrician to work on his own house which is of course DIY.
I'm not certain that BS7671 compliance actually requires that a certificate be handed to the customer, but it certainly requires that the testing should be done (and presumably recorded on an appropriate certificate). If (most unlikley) the testing has been done, a DIYer can complete the cert and then hand it to him/herself!Doh! What I mean is; until last week if I called in an electrician and did not get a MWC, I would not have known any difference. I.e. While I know testing has to be done to ensure safe operation and what it entails, I did not know the customer receives a copy of the results and the details regarding the job.
Like that is ever going to happen!as the UK is part of the European Union? (Or will be until Mr. Cameron receives an overwhelming "Get Out Now" vote!)
I didn't think you could invent something that was already invented In my defence I only answered, in the text used by the OP, to reply to their assumptions. But like it or not the term like for like is used and is going to be continually used, as are downlights.... replacing a light switch or a socket for like for like ...Why do people keep inventing that term?Minor works cert can be used for changing lights and socket accessories, like for like!
And when someone decides to make a claim, alleging that you left an installation unsafe. What evidence have you got/given to defend yourself with. I perform tests and issue certs, on everything I do once I have done work on the system, fair enough takes a little more time on the minor jobs, but covers my arse. I even take photos, if I have concerns/issues about the work I am being involved with.And it does not really matter if results are written down it's the testing that matters.
