Please Support A Petition To amend Part P

[WayneStokes]

The petition is to amend Part P of the Building Regulations to allow Qualified Electricians to self certify their work under the Competent Person Scheme and register with a Competent Person Scheme without the need to obtain a further Part P Certificate or have to mandatory register with a self appointed industry body.

Amend Part P Building Regulations - e-petitions

It is not about compromising safety or circumventing registration - it is about getting the proper recognition for qualified electricians.

Thank you

Sorry to sound negative Wayne, but you don't stand a Cat in Hell's Chance of anything coming of this.
1: the recently revised version comes into force in April, they are not going to amend it in the foreseeable future &
2: you need at 100,000 signatures, before the petition would even be looked at and I doubt very much if you anywhere that number!

Can’t believe they allowed something as woolly as that. Not worth the effort.

Well given that anyone can go on the 5 day Part p course I could say more than a kitchen fitter - no disrespect to kitchen fitters.
for myseld I am a JIB indentured electrician in possession of C&G Parts 1, 2 and C cert together with 17th Edition. I am talking about proper industry recognised qualifications - i also have 36 years experience, have wired your hospitals, schools, industrial units, houses and universities - however, without a Part P Cert or having to register with a self appointed self regulated industry body I'm classed as incompetent to wire a domestic shower !

Sorry to hear that, thought it might be worth a try though - i don't appreciate being a JIB indentured electrician, holding C&G Part 1, 2 and C and 17th Edition, having 36 years experience, having wired your hospitals, schools, universities and houses being told I'm not competent to wire a domestic shower.. !

Thats fair enough im not doubting your a spark.. I am just saying in future posting the same post 4 times is not necessary..

My response was for Tony really not you Big Bad Dave, I appreciate your advice and the Administrator has already removed the rest

Peter, have you looked at either petition?

We are trying to correct a specific problem and is worded as such.

40 years in heavy engineering. 15 years as an AP and latterly a SAP. I’m not allowed to wire a shower either.

Not that I want to, I'm retired.

I will support you

Restricting electricians from doing work when considering that the country deems ok for someone new to the trade just doing a few hours and a regs exam

It's only in this crazy land that such things take place

It will do little but it still needs to be supported

 

[Knobhead]

From the petition

"without the need to obtain a further Part P Certificate or have to mandatory register with a self appointed industry body."

IE anyone can have a play.

Thank you for your support, i just felt something needed to be said and i have sent the details of the petition to all the self appointed self regulated industry bodies, the union (Unite) the electrical safety council and the JIB. Like you i don't think it will change anything but I feel its tantamount to unfairly restricting myself and others from practicing the trade they have been properly trained to do
