[sparky_1989]

Hi im new to this forum and was wondering how i go about signing off work such as re-wires and consumer unit changes. I'm a 17th edition electrician with my time just out a year ago what steps do i have to take because i want to work for myself as i have been offered alot of work where it requires me to sign it off. thanks

Thanks for the reply so fast I should have added that i live in Scotland so i need to join elesca or a other do i have to sit any tests such as part p

 

[telectrix]

no part p in scotland. different rules rhere. oldtimer or mogga will be better placed to advise.

When you apply to one of the Part P scheme providers they will set out what you need to do. They will be looking for up to date qualifications, public liability insurance and they will of course ask you for money!

Try googling a couple, Napit, Elesca, NICEIC. They will most likely have the info you need on their site.

Best of luck.

forget what Ive just said. the post above is right:smiley2:

As tel says. I am not familiar with the rules in Scotland either. Irrespective of the work you do, it must all be Inspected, Tested and, Certified as compliant in accordance with the wiring regs anyway. So you should be signing your own work off, whether it is a new installation or an addition to an existing one, these require either a Minor works certificate, or an Electrical Installation certificate, depending on the type of work. I am fairly sure that this will apply in Scotland.

as howard ^^^^ said, the same rules as regards certification apply in scotland, but forget part p. the organisation in scotland is select, but i'm not sure if scottish building control require you to be a member.

No scheme's needed, all they want is copy of grade card and calibration cert with eic (depending on area). I'm not sure if they accept it unless your an approved electrician though. Best bet is speak to the building control officer as they all have their own rules/backhanders...

Don't you mean join a scab
Cause that's what they all are money grabbing ----as
They use all health and safety words and pretend to be concerned about well being and safety cause the mo ey rolls in from that through us lot

no part p in scotland. SELECT is one of the big schemes here. You need to be registered with them (or similar) to sign off any work that has a building warrant i think.
The same as down south as far as i'm aware with regards to minor works certs and the likes.

Like Telectrix said, mogga or old timer will probably correct me.

I would seriously consider sticking with your company for now until you have more experience, although doing your research just now, like you are, wont do any harm.

Nice way to welcome someone to an open forum there glenn!

Need to be either NIC EIC or SELECT registered to carry out works which require a building warrant (new builds, extensions etc). Also need to be a Scottish Building Standards approved certifier of construction. Any other works there's not a requirement to be a member of anything.
