Fitting new consumer board - no part p?

[tomodo]

Hi guys my friends ask me to replace his consumer board Ive been qualified for a year or so have my nvq level 3 but no inspection and testing yet! What are the rules for doing it? Is it okay for me to install it and then get an experienced part p registered electrician I know to test and certify it? Is this also legal? And also when I do get my 2394 and 2395 how do I go about doing one off jobs without becoming part p? Cheers be grateful for replys

if its notifiable work, you'll have to be with a competant person scheme, if your just changing accessories like for like then not, consumer is notifiable...

 

[telectrix]

are you competent to do it? do you have the necxessary test gear to test and certify?

if yes to both, then just ge --- done.

the part pee police might prosecute you if yo make a balls-up and injure someone.

They are a live and kicking

No test equipment so that's a no go. Just wondering what the law was?

Third party certification is an option.

So lacking in experience, no test kit and no membership.

Any PL insurance?

Me thinks you should walk away or if you do it, make sure you buy your horse some more straw.

dont touch anything without test gear, how do you know you've not got any underlying faults? dont touch it...

I had an email yesterday, Stroma are giving it to members for free. I get the feeling Building Control can't be arsed with Part P now and this third party certification will stop them getting asked to arrange contractors.

We'll it'll get tested after it's been installed so why should that be a problem? Seems a lot of money to get registered if I'm not doing it as a business. Work full time as maintenance in a factory thanks for the replys

So what are you going to do when the RCDs are tripping?

 

[tomodo]

Do some fault finding maybe?

What if you have insulation faults, you won't know until you turn it on and the RCD wont stay in.
