Self certification of a new circuit

[Jenko]

Hi all .
Can I have some clarification please as seems a bit of a grey area when asking fellow sparks.
I'm an apprentice served sparks with cg part 1.2. C course . 2391. P.a.t. Etc . Working in the nhs for over 30yrs on industrial and domestic residences. I've been asked by a family member if I can install a new ring main in and industrial unit for his charity.
Question is can I install . Test .and certify myself .

Cheers for any replies .

Why did you think its a "grey area"?

Do you have PL insurance?

 

[Baker1988]

Its not domestic mate so part p dont apply so aslong as your compitent (which by your quals i would say you are) do it

 

[Jenko]

Thanks for prompt replies guys. A lot seem to say I need to be registered to someone like niciec to be able to sign off the certificates .
No I don't have pl ins . Did say it would be at their own risk and acceptance for me to do the work .

Part p dont apply, so carry on and issue your own certificate using a blank template from online, as for insurance in the event you messed up and something went wrong you could be held liable, only you can gauge your ability and how good a friend your mate is and would he sue you if the proverbial hit the fan, no matter how unlikely???

 

[telectrix]

definitely take out PL insurance. only about £80 for the year.

 

[Jenko]

Can you get personal PL ins or do they only insure businesses ?

 

[Octopus]

Its the same really - done on levels of turn over and amount of cover - most tradesman need £2 million of cover and it does vary a lot, depending on where you are and exactly what you do.

You can count this as a business expense when you do your SE returns.

 

[Jenko]

But I'm employed by the nhs full time . This is a job outside for a family members charity business .

 

[Octopus]

So you're planning to do the work and not declare the income ...

 

[Jenko]

What income ? I don't charge family for my time .
