Sign my own commercial testing work after 2394-2395

[Mikaelo]

Hi there, I have pass the 2394-2395 exam this week and I want to start to sign my own comercial work.
Can I issue EIC and EICR before join in an electrical scheme?.
What insurance do you recommend for me?
Thank you very much.

Providing appropriate certification is a requirement of BS7671.

You can complete electrical installation certificates and Electrical installation condition reports.

The completion of these certificates is a requirement of the wiring regulations and is not associated with any electrical scheme (except in the minds of the scheme providers).

Building regulations compliance /completion certificates for domestic work issued by building control (nominally) are the subject of self certification schemes by providing a cheaper way to notify work (where required).

Insurance for electrical work would normally be public liability insurance; insurance to cover you for your professional opinion when issuing EICRs might require professional indemnity insurance as well.

You will only NEED to be in a scheme if the customer specifies it as a requirement for working on their installations.

Comercial work is not notifiable. Is it true? Thanks.
