Certificate for Domestic Installers Eal Level 2 (part P) (subject To Approval)

CERTIFICATE FOR DOMESTIC INSTALLERS EAL LEVEL 2 (PART P) (Subject to approval) Entry Requirements
From 1 January 2005 all electrical work in dwellings is required to comply with Part P requirements and be carried out by persones who are competent to do the work. The Part P is aimed at personnel/businesses who carry out electrical work in support of their main trade. This mainly consists of kitchen fitters, plumbers, carpenters and builders, but also extends to anyone carrying out electrical work in the home.
Description
If you are not registered as a Part P approved person then all work needs to be notified to the local building control officer, who will inspect your work, or appoint a qualified agent to carry out the inspection. In practice this option is going to be both time consuming and costly - each inspection could cost between £100-200.
