Signing off work.

[sjl468]

Is it legal for a non registered electrician to complete a re-wire for instance and get a registered electrician in to sign it off?
I assume it is as long as the registered sparky will do it of course. Just wanted a few views on this. Thanks.

I wouldn't.

as far as i know it isn't actually illegal, but who in their right mind would sign off someone elses work? when you are asked where does that wire run, how are you going to explain on an inspection thatyou didn't actually put it in ?

With respect to the wiring regs there is nothing stopping you using a 3 part EIC, the persons responsible signing for the design and construction and you signing for the inspection and testing.

However with respect part p of the building regs it is not legal for you to sign off anyone elses work, only the Local Authority Building Control can do that.
