You do not need to be a memeber of a cps to replace the comsumer unit. Although this is notifiable work, as long as you are competant in electrical work, all you need to do is notify your local Council Building Control and they will send someone out to certify it as being compliant. I have done this and my install passed with no problems. Stop giving out misleading information.The 2020 PRS legislation says "qualified person” means a person competent to undertake the inspection and testing required under regulation 3(1) and any further investigative or remedial work in accordance with the electrical safety standards;"
I think the use of the highlighted "and" is very important. My reading is the qualified person needs to be competent to do the EICR and remedial work. This could be a consumer unit. So to replace the Consumer unit you must be a members of CPS. Therefore, a qualified person must be a member of a CPS?

Hi Micheal,This question has been raised several times in the past, I thought it was now a requirement, but there still seems to be some confusion in the industry, or at least with me.
18th Edition now says you need to be skilled to complete EICR, but that does not make CPS a requirement.
NICEIC says only registered electricians should complete EICR. https://www.excel-elec.co.uk/images/docs/checked-electrics.pdf
Even if regulation does not require membership, I should have thought your PI insurance would require it.
For what its worth, I think membership should be a requirement, otherwise, how does anyone know you are skilled.
Does anyone have any definitive documentation?
I'm sure the 2391 qualification would more than evidence competence - certainly more so than being a scheme memberBut surly the insurance would want membership, otherwise how do they know you are skilled, have you noticed any requirements on your insurance, I'm gonna check mine now.
