I see the NICEIC are making it up as they go along!!!

*ankers

I dont think they have a choice, as it seems no-one wants to commit themselves.....

Would this mean the likes of a honda petrol genny on a site or an emergency back up generator which is pemanantly fitted, IE wired in?

I too am not an electrician (or indeed any kind of tradesman!) but I would imagine that in the case where you are powered purely by a generator the NICEIC will have no legitimate reason to be interested. Like how you need CORGI registration to deal with your mains gas but you can do whatever you want with bottled gas. Back-up power would surely be covered by Part Pee, as this becomes part of your permanent installation and can possibly feed back into the grid.

When we come to sell our houses are any part P regulations retrospective?

There's not really any way they can prove whether your work was done after Part Pee came into effect. Unless you do some electrical work after the new wiring colours come into effect.

the new wiring colors are already allowed

and part p is not in effect yet

 

[AdamW]

True

and part p is not in effect yet

I know, I was using the future imperfect tense

But point taken, just cos the installaton is in new colours doesn't mean it is post January 2005.

However, if you install accessories that have big stickers in them saying "quality control date, February 2005" then unless you own a Delorean and have a penchant for skateboarding it is obvious there was work done under the reign of Part P.

Adam... on boats etc that use gas you can only change the bottle, the installation of the heater,cooker etc has to be done by corgi fitter.

As I have an interest in boats and in view of the above, I was curious as to wether part p covered the generators and land lines on these, I should have asked that I suppose. To be honest though I have'nt read anything in the boating press. Any marine sparks out there?

There is a section within the wiring regulations covering generators / additional sources, and to comply with Part P the wiring regulations must be followed....

Dont know how this works for boats though....
