Stroma Certification Scheme Stroma Assessment Help

[Dannydigger]

Hi Guys,

I've got my STROMA assessment on Monday and one of the parts of the agenda is Documentation Review

It doesnt specify what documents they will be reviewing, could anyone shed any light on what is required please

I have so far
my complaints procedure and log
Calibration certificate
Qualifications
PLI Docs
Company Registration

What else do I need and does anyone know where I can download them from

Thanks in advance

Dan

Dont they normally ask you to have a Copy of Part P and Electricity and Work Act Doc.

some ask for a Risk ---, or a Invoice you have done..

I'm not a member of Stroma but I wouldn't think that is correct, no where does it say you have to have a 'qualification' to do periodics, it doesn't come under Part P legislation.

If you're doing eicr's you'll need to have professional indemnity insurance cover and he'll want to see your terms and conditions.
Take everything with you, OSG, 7671, GN3, your quals, everything.
If you don't show him everything he wants to see you'll get a "non conformity " and you won't be reviewed for 40 days.
Don't forget your lock out kit!!

HHD gave me great advice for mine ( Thanks again mate ) and it helped a lot.

Good luck.

And he'll probably also want to see a proper test lamp set and working proving unit as well.

From what I remember of i mine a month or so a go I needed:

calibration certificate in date
public liability insurance £2million
amd 3 BS7671
amd 3 On-site guide
complaints procedure
a copy of Part P building regs (pdf will do)
a copy of EAWR (pdf will do)
a health and safety statement
relevant qualifications
lock off kit
voltage indicator and proving unit.

the guy was pretty laid back and told me what to write for the complaints procedure etc so I just have to have that by next year

As for test I had to do:

safe isolation
ze
pfc
R1+R2
insulation resistance
zs
rcd test

It all went well and I passed. I didn't think it was too hard. They want your business at the end of the day.

Hi all I'm thinking of joining Stroma too...does anyone know how long it takes from o line application to assessment? Thanks Marc )

 

[tomspark93]

It took me about 1-2 weeks. They seemed pretty keen to get it booked in almost straight away.

 

[marcspark]

Hi Tom...Thanks for the quick reply...Wow that's quick which is great. Just rewired a new build and luckily for me building control officer was Ok for me to get my Part P without charging I better pass ) Lol

 

[DuaneMHunt1976]

One.other thing to.remember Tea/Coffee suck up with some.some jaffa cakes.(I do like tango ones myself or pimms a white chocolate version with cherry jam)

So a board change would be an ideal job? Is it just one job they want to see for your initial assessment?

Hi if anything like the solar PV paperwork, you will also need a company review of your health & safety policy.
could also include a company review all through in writing, Last time I had assessment with the scam providers that was the requirement, the way they asked me to do this was for every document (H/S, Risk, complaints) was to start with one & work through each one as an agenda. with regard to this you are actually reviewing the company policies on each one you will have to document a course of action for each, supplier for example are they delivering to you on time, result yes / no, no then how can this be improved order materials earlier, look for another wholesaler, think you get the drift.

What does stroma assess you for?, is is solely part p notifications and domestic or does it cover you for commercial works too?

 

[marcspark]

Hello Welchyboy1....I'm thinking of joining Stroma just for Part P notifications but they assess you on commercial work too.

200 notes in a brown envelope shoved under the toilet door will be enough to get you through the assessment.

One of these with a log book of regular checks probably wouldn't go amiss. They are only about £20 to buy.
