HELP signing off work

[HandySparks]

basically, new circuits, new CUs, and any work in a bathroom are notifiable under part pee. for minor jobs, no notification is needed. just a cert.

In England, notification isn't required for bathroom jobs unless the work is inside the zones.

Have a read of the part P document.
Electrical safety: Approved Document P - GOV.UK - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/electrical-safety-approved-document-p

It is a legal requirement that work carried out in dwellings complies with Bs 7671, and that certain works in dwellings are notified to building control. The only cost effective way of notifying is through one of the schemes.
Most work will require an EIC or MW cert issued to the customer, and you will then notify building control (if required) through your scheme.
The term 'signing off' is often used but is rather misleading.

No it is not a legal requirement.
There is a legal requirement for the work conducted to be safe, compliance with BS7671 would be deemed as being safe.

When i made the jump to become self employed i contacted my LABC as i am not currently a member of any scheme. They were very helpful, which surprised me, basically as others have mentioned not all work is notifiable although all work should be tested in accordance with BD7671. I had to provide evidence of my qualifications to my LABC and am now on there register as a competant person. If i do any work that is notifiable i have to fill in a form and send it to them prior to work starting, along with a fee of £85. This cost isnt to bad on a larger job where it can be lost for example a rewire, but obviously smaller jobs it would pay to be part of a scheme.
