Legal advice Testing and Inspection

[MrShine94]

Is it permitted to carry out a schedule of test results and sign EIC after completing all tasks of 2391 but not the online exam. I am working on a job 100 properties and testing them but have not passed final exam of course. Is this illegal ?

You can carry out inspection and testing, and issue certificates as long as you are competent.
You do not need to do any course to be able to do this.

I thought to test and inspect the individual had to be certified and registered with niceic or napit

You only need to be a member of a scheme to self certify certain aspects of installation work in the domestic sector to satisfy Part P of the building regulations.
As above , you just have to be competent to test and inspect, as you would be probably be doing in your day to day occupation .

I think that is the preferred thought out there from the viewpoint of the quango self appointed emperors of the electrical domain, but sadly legislation does not support them in that. You have been educated and have experience and therefore qualify with any legal definition or regulatory definition of a competent person.

Is this your job or an employers?

No, to test and inspect you must be competent to do so.

To self certify/notify work for the purposes of part P you need to be a member of a scheme

It's staggering that there still remains so much confusion and mythology on this subject

To some degree, I agree. It's pretty basic but it's like every subject, some people know more than others....but might not know some things that the others know.
Hence, asking on here.

It is true some people know more than others, and nobody knows everything. but in this case a person only needs to know how to read and how to find a copy of part P online to be able to find out the facts for themselves.

All true, but the States of Jersey may have different laws on this. From what I remember when working there Jersey is quite highly regulated for electrical works.

 

[ruston]

I wondered about that , but his info says London.

Most countries around the globe have different rules, but the OP is in London so England's rules apply.

What on earth are you talking about Jersey for?

Because the national flag of Jersey is displayed on his profile. I saw no mention of London, but will look again in case I missed it.

No country flag showing on your avatar. Aren’t you sure?

It does make you wonder, working on a job with a hundred properties involved.
