Part p amendment - online version

[Richard Burns]

If you look at the diagram which is above the clip in post 4 (in the new Part P doc), Garden Electrics and Out-buildings are notifiable!

You had me panicked there for a moment, that diagram is only showing the application of Part P of the building regs, not the areas that are notifiable to building control.

Oh yeah!
So the what hell is the difference between 'In Scope' and 'Notifiable'?

Totally confused now...hahaha!!!!!

The amount of domestic I do, I won't be notifying Manc City Council anyway!

Part P of the building regs is saying do good quality work to BS7671 and in compliance with the building regs in all cases (for domestic).
The section of Part P dealing with the requirement to notify Building control only covers the "special location" noted above and all new circuits and all CU changes (in domestic).

Part P covers generally all "domestic" installations as described in the in scope diagram as I say in the quote above.
Notifiable works are a section of part P that says you must tell BC about these works as in the attachment in post 4.

OK...let me see if I've got this right, all domestic work has to comply to 7671 (goes without saying!) and meet a handful of various parts of the rest of Building Regs., and what is actually notifiable is on that list.

So I can go out and become an Domestic Outdoors and Out-Buildings Electrical Installer, without having to join a money grabbing scam or have any involvement with my LABC? Excellent!

Got it, all electrical work except exempted (very small amount, if any in domestic) must comply with the building regulations. Work in or attached to dwellings must comply with Part P of the building regulations.
Work in the list in Part P must be notified to building control.

Yep so long as you do not install any new circuits!!! you are fine.

as in notes

I think you might be mixing up Part P (of the Building Regulations):



And the notification requirements (clause 12(6) of the Building Regs):



And the guidance documents: http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/uploads/br/BR_PDF_AD_P_2013.pdf

Part P applies to all inscope work not just work that is notifiable under Clause 12(6) and Part P does not say you need to comply with BS7671. The approved Doc (guidance on how to meet Part P of the Building Regs) references it as one way of complying but states that it is only one way and that BS7671 may exceed the Builds Regs requirements in some areas.
