As i am not part of any scheme i have been told if i issue a certificate i then have to pay Building control a massive about to come out and sign it off. (dont know how true this is)
Certification required by BS7671 and notification are different and quite separate things. Yes if not in a scheme then you need to contact building control and pay a fee. Not all work is notifiable though.
I 100% agree mate, Personally i think you should need your 2391 in order to be part of these schemes. Shocking how people with less qualifications and experience can Sign off notifiable work, They don't even need to be fully qualified again the "competence" work comes into effect
This is only in line with legal requirements with having to be competent to be able to test and inspect electrical work. You'll probably find that the schemes will require testing quals if you want them to vouch for your periodic inspection work, or for full scope membership.
