EICR required for Part P installations?

[JonnyRegga]

Hi Everyone,
I have been told that when I join a Part P scheme I have to complete an EICR form for every installation or addition to a circuit before I can do any work on the circuit. So even putting a new socket on a bedroom circuit I have to complete an EICR form. To do that I have to have indemnity insurance as well as public liability insurance. If I don't have the indemnity insurance then I have to pay someone who is authorised to write out a EICR before I can do any work under part P schme.

I didn't know I had to do an EICR form before I can even add a socket to an exsisting circuit, or not having indemnity insurance I have to pay someone to write the EICR form.

This doesnt sound right to me?

I have just read through this post and I feel like I have already had 5 pints, what a load of nonsense. I am in Stroma (or Storma as they are also apparently called), and I can verify that they definitely do not need an EICR filling out before you pick any tools up, and neither would any other Scheme. Whoever gave you that information is quite wrong.
I am now going to prepare dinner. Not tea, that's a drink.
Don't panic.
Edit - If you want to do EICR's under the Stroma "Banner", then they insist on professional indemnity insurance, that's all, which is probably a good idea, your choice. As Murdoch said, you don't have to be in a scheme to do them anyway.

Still none the wiser to which scheme provider apparently said this......

Don't reckon any of this rings true personally.

Right, let's gets this straight. Breakfast/Dinner/Tea. Easy. That's why dinner is at dinnertime and tea is at tea time.
And to make it conclusive, when do you have your Sunday dinner? Yep, dinner time.

No No No No No. You are getting confused between Tea (in the afternoon, usually with a nice cake or scone) and dinner, which is usually at 7 ish after drinkies. Sunday Lunch would be taken at, well, lunchtime (2 ish after a few wets)
Quite simple really.

breakfast in the morning - lunch around midday - tea in the afternoon - dinner in the evening - supper before bed.

Well I've never heard of lunch ladies at school. They are called Dinner ladies
So by process of elimination we eat Dinner at lunchtime simples.

gutterball - don't encourage him. You can't argue with facts, Dinner at Dinner time, Tea at tea time. Fact.

Gutterball, have you got time for any work? - it seems to me that your day is quite 'full' as you probably are BUT as sparksburntout so eloquently mention ' YOU DO GOTTA BITTA CLASS!'

 

[gutterball]

well there is elevenses and snacks between if you get hungry. my work day is usually breakfast about 6:30ish then lunch is usually a packet of crisps or a chocky bar whilst driving between jobs, then dinner about 7pm
