er ? yes, and what do you think the BCO or the scheme member sparky do to show it complies - they issue a certificate LOL

yes but the way i understand it, part p legistration covers certain areas of electrical work which is under gone, which needs to be notified to the local authority. whether that be throught a third party ( ie a scheme ) or direct.. a certificate is issued to say that the person carrying out that work, has done so to a certain standard. (a copy of which is used to notify under part p)

your almost right but its the other way round - everything electrical needs certifying EXCEPT the things listed in section 2B (so yes, they can tell you not to do work in your own house LOL)

The Building Regulations say:

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

A happy customer..

He has fixed his faulty alarm

Learned the benefit of having a healthy back-up battery , cost of replacement , and where to source.

Increased the safety of his whole electrical system..

Had the use of a knowledgeable forum , and acknowledged it...

Why then drag it down to Part P level....why not let another forum have that argument again?.

phoned my local building inspectorate , and he said he would not expect to be notified under part p regs, if someone changed fuse wire to mcb, but he did add that changing the consumer unit itself is covered..........

he did go on to say that there were lots of loopholes open to different interurpretations ,,ha ha

topic closed for me......

Why then drag it down to Part P level....

er? because its a legal requirment ? (even though KKA was wrongly advised) or because the OP hasnt improved his protection? or because we dont want his house to burn down ?

take yer pick, or shall we just ignore those bits no body likes?

Whats a distribution output device then?

Yeah,topic well of course and up for an edit + closure!

We have advised the guy how to repair his alarm and all has turned out fine and nothing for us to deal with Part P IMO!

We have not told him to change his mains!

Agreed, topic closed
