Guest anguscanplay Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 just for you tops A person who intends to carry out building work is not required to give a building notice or deposit full plans where the work consists only of work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barooga Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 All very impressive but still nothing to do with DIYers having to comply with EN/PD/BS - again, they don't. The original post referred to ANY BS/EN regs, not just those known to be alarm specific. Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateurandy Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 same as theres no line of text says you cannot do your own gas work - Now I'm pretty sure you're wrong there, it's a legal requirement to be Corgi registered (or something similar). I think it's in the 1998 Gas Installation and Use Regulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lead to believe its the same as - if you can prove competance and get it signed off by the BCO its okay not to be CORGI / ACOPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many other similar places to be found. It certainly appears to be a criminal offence to do it for gain without certification (the actual wording is a "member of a class of persons approved for the time being by the Health and Safety Executive") Whatever the real position the message seems to have got out to (most of) the general public that it's illegal to do your own gas work and that you MUST employ someone who is Corgi-registered. Probably no bad thing. PS What's ACOPS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topalarms Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 The original post referred to ANY BS/EN regs, not just those known to be alarm specific. Actually it didn't, its just that anguscantplay has highjacked the question to pontificate on Part P. To clarify, I mean alarm system regulations, ( PD:****, EN:**** etc ) NOT electrical or noise pollution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topalarms Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 and for angus Changes to legislation in recent years means that by law only a CORGI (Council for Registered Gas Installers) registered installer can carry out work on a gas appliance. This applies to all of your domestic gas appliances. Installing or carrying out maintenance on gas appliances yourself is therefore illegal and could be dangerous.
