Electrical Certificate

[Miked83]

Hi guys looking for some advice. I recently had an extension added and new lighting was added. Building control have asked for an electrical certificate. The electrician is providing one for the changes to the lighting but not for the power as no changes were made to this. I was wondering if anyone knows if this would be acceptable as I don’t want to have it rejected. Many thanks.

Building control didn't want part P, they still don't really want it, they don't know enough about electrical work and don't receive the training in it.
So now they have to try and deal with it, they've had guidance which says they must receive notification and/or certificates and so that's what they ask for.

But why do they constantly ask for a notification of non notification works

It’s been what 13 years since partpee and they still dint get it

They probably can't tell whether the work done is notifiable or not, it's not always obvious what has or hasn't been done to an electrical installation.

They could try asking the electrician ?

Has anyone actually tried asking an Electrician anything?

I don’t think they’re asking for it to be notified Dusty, they’re asking for a certificate which it needs to be part p compliant.

Obviously building control is involved with the extension so they have a right and probably a duty to make sure the work complies.
