Competent person and EICR

[TaffyDuck]

I`ve just had my annual coffee drinking exercise otherwise known as Part P assessment.

Obviously we discussed the weather, the price of fish and the new regs. No worries there.

One thing that my assessor did say however was that as of next year an electrician would need to prove his competence PRIOR to carrying out an EICR. According to him at least, as of 2016 only those electricians who hold CG 2391 or its new equivalent will be able to carry them out.

It will no longer be OK to just say you are competent, you will have to prove it.

Could be interesting, assuming he`s right,for those of us with 2391.

So they won't accept the 2394/5 then? I didn't think anywhere still offered the 2391? I tried to get on one about 2 years ago after i wasted my money doing the 17th?

Why does he need to join a scam? He's working in the industrial sector and not going to be doing notifiable work.
