Roll on the 19th.
Yet if any of us did go against it and, say refuse to be in a scam and just carry on certifying and giving to the customers only what they expect - ie the EIC EICR or MWC - no one would come after us. No one.
LABC don’t want anything to do with part P so they give it to the schemes to control.
Nothing would happen. Let’s do it - REVOLUTION!
Let’s have a cup of tea first though!
I've never been part of any scam/scheme. And you're right, because no one has ever come after me! Most of my work has been single new builds and renovation projects where Building control are already involved. I say to them that I'm fully qualified, are they happy for me to do the work? They say, "can you certify your work?" I say, "yes of course". At the end of the job a copy of the certification goes in their folder and job done. Only once has a BC guy asked to see my quals which I duly showed him, along with insurance of course. I've never understood why so many people bother with the scams when there are obviously ways around the system. I've never heard of anyone being taken to court for not complying with Part P unless of course they've been found to be doing sub-standard or dangerous work. So, as long as you're qualified and competent, and work to the regs, then what's to worry about? Finish that tea and join the revolution!
Let me know what that is
Yet to comply with 18th I'm going to have to take a 3 day top up course costing £520 and with 3 days loss of earnings, and the books, I'll be close to £2,000 out of pocket.
Of course your right, I've not heard of many electricians being prosecuted for not being in a scheme as you've mentioned.
However, it is a criminal offence, not complying with Building regs (Part P), and punishable with a fine up to £5000. It may also be possible that your clients are complicit in the offence, and could also be liable, 'With all building work, the owner of the property (or land) in question is ultimately responsible for complying with the relevant planning rules and building regulations (regardless of the need to apply for planning permission and/or building regulations approval or not)' (Planning Portal).
So if your not complying with Sect 3.1 Part P (England & Wales), you're a very naughty boy, and putting your clients at risk of prosecution. You may also be invalidating your insurance.
So however guiling it is, and it is, its the law.
The what! Been chasing the IET for updates on this for months. Dylexia makes the processed tree version a bit of a challenge.

Compile a pdf of screenshots?The way the digital books are supplied, you would have to licence the digital copy to e.g. a single laptop then share that one laptop around.
Is that the small print microscope version or just a very big handView attachment 41855 I got mine today at ELEX at Westpoint Exeter - here is a picture of it with IGOR my butler holding it for the camera!
Confirmed today that Earth Rods will not be a requirement for PME systems in the 18th because people from Inverness complained about the impossibility in their rock strewn ground so if everyone can’t do it no one will. We can thank Elecsa for arguing our side.
Ive never actually heard of anyone failing an amendment update exam or edition update. Thinking it’s not really worth the paper it’s written on and doesn’t prove competency or even prove the person in question knows how to even use the regs books.I think ALL signed up scam members need to warn their scams that the 18th maybe an exam too far , and thus the scams will then be under threat
Somebody needs to speak up for us, and the scams / gravy train have absolutely no incentive to do this for us ......
