YOU DONT READ DO YOU
This reply was addressed to a member who is trying to get Part P registration - not one who is registered.
You are also very cockey - Any complaints procedure against your work would involve a senior engineer being able to inspect your work and requiring you to put it right if it is unsafe or not to the current standards. Or did your qualify above everyone else.
Q1. As I am NICEIC registered I give that answer (I think all the others have similar):
It is very difficult to litigate for bad workmanship unless someone's life has been threatened or eliminated by faulty workmanship. E.g. a valid defense is that I am compenent and carried out the work to the best of my ability.
- If customer decides that they wish to complain for whatever reason about the electrical work, they complete a Complaints Form
- A senior engineer from NICEIC is allocated. They will confirm details and visit site to inspect.
- If the work is unsafe or not up to standard, the visit will be charged to the Registered electrician. Otherwise NICEIC takes the cost.
- The Registered electrician will be given a report, expected to rectify the installation and may be revisited by NICEIC to check his work.
- If the electrician is unable to put right (bust or refuses), NICEIC insurance will pay for another electrician to correct installation.
- If there is a commercial dispute between Registered electrician and customer the complaint procedure cannot be activated.
I understand that the industry is setting up a means of reporting bad workmanship so that obvious failures (e.g. bad earthing) can be reported for pursuit. Also the HSE regulations are being strengthened to match the strength of the CORGI regulations. Currently EWR only applies while an electrician is working on site - as soon as work is complete EWR no longer applies (- daft!!)
Q2. If you wish to self-certify work under Part P, the electrician has to be registered with an appropriate body, e.g. NICEIC, NAPIT, etc. Sorry about confussion, this whole thread was started by a guy who wish to work towards getting registered under Part P.
Hope that clears this up!
