Government changes to our scheme authorisation
*
The following information will affect all contractors registered on our Part P*competent persons scheme.
*
In June 2012 the department for Communities and Local Government (CLG) introduced its new authorisation criteria for Certification Bodies licensed to operate Competent Person Schemes. The new criteria requires certification bodies to:

1.*Become UKAS accredited for all of their schemes
2.*Consider Risk Based Assessments (RBA)
3.*Introduce a mandatory Insurance Backed Warranty (IBW)
The authorisation criteria contains other requirements for certification bodies that must be met in full by June 2014.* The good news is that ECA Certification is already UKAS accredited for its*competent person schemes. We also know from this years satisfaction survey that you would be in favour of a risk based approach to assessment and we have already done a considerable amount of work for government to consider on how this proposal could be implemented.
*
However, in reviewing the authorisation criteria to implement the mandatory Insurance Backed Warranty (IBW) we will have to change the way in which the current warranty provision operates.* Instead of being able to offer a free provision for the discretion of your customers to purchase, we will have to introduce the system where a compulsory warranty is added to the cost of the job notification fee.* We appreciate that this will mean some additional cost for you but it will also mean that we can remove some of the administrative and assessment burden placed on you as to how you currently need to demonstrate that you meet this scheme criteria. You will also be able to provide the additional peace of mind to your customers that all of your work is automatically covered by the warranty without them having to do anything.
The introduction of the mandatory IBW will be towards the end of March 2013 and we will continue to keep you updated on progress to make sure you have plenty of notice about these changes.* No other*Part P related fees*will be changing in 2013.* If you have any questions about the mandatory IBW please contact us on 0333 321 8220 or email [email protected].
