Compliance document for competent person scheme

[Richard Burns]

Off topic but how doe the renewal work with Stroma, do they just debit your credit card, I am slightly overdue, or do they arrange a visit? They contaced me a while back to ask if I would be renewing and never got back to me?

I think you need to confirm with them that you want to renew and then by completing their pre visit questionnaire and making payment they will book a date for your reassessment, (apparently they now need to see two new circuits for the assessment). Once you have been assessed it goes to the decision maker and gets approved and you are done for the next year.

Just found this information in my renewal email "If you are looking to renew your certification, please confirm by logging into the Stroma Installer Portal. Once we have received confirmation of your renewal we will be able to confirm the cost of you renewing your certification and the measure(s) we will require to assess as part of the surveillance visit.
If you have any further questions in the meantime, please feel free to contact Stroma Certification on 0845 621 1111"

Definitely give them a call and see what's happened.
If your renewal date passes and no inspection has been arranged there's risk you may be dropped from the role, just saying.

Over looked and glad to relieve me of £288! What's does the Stroma annual assessment look like? More cakes and coffee?

Usual run through of paperwork and insurances. Then tea and cakes. Then inspecting site, review of cert and discussion. I had less questioning this time as I guess he could tell I hadn't forgotten my answers from last year.
And then more tea and cakes

nd the most important aspect enough money to pay the exorbitant yearly fees.

Maybe they are asking for a list of work you have notified. On another note are these schemes only interested in inspecting work that forms under part P or all domestic work undertaken when they do annual assessment ?.

Generally the schemes are assessing that you are complying with Part P and the rest of the building regulations, part of which is complying with BS7671, so the focus is on the building regulations but not excluding good workmanship and wiring regulations knowledge and application.

A bit like negotiating with the EU.

How often do the Gas Safe guys get assessed? Is it every year?

The compliance document policy thingy did you get answer on what is was they required?
I wonder if they wanted a short worded page detailing each customer is issued with a complaints form, any complaints received about workmanship, or component failures will be entered into the customer complaints register. Corrective action will be undertaken where it comes under the guarantee of scheme it applies. If it is found to not be in relation to work you have carried what would you propose to do. If the situation between customer and you can’t be resolved you will inform customer to send a copy of complaint letter to scheme operator ie stromer.
If everything it’s tickety boo client signs complaint letter stating that fact and both of you keep a copy on file for x number of years.
You will notify stromer immediately of any changes that could affect you membership etc, you will carry out routine inspections, checks on all your test equipment and keep logs of the checks carried, get tester calibrated every year.

I don’t know if this is what they want or expect but is the only thing I could think of.
