New En-Suite – What electrical testing & certification is required?

[Des 56]

No, it is your responsibility.

Either by doing it yourself prior to the work starting or
by employing an electrician who can self certify.

Its the Householders responsibility for compliance with the building regulations

He may engage the services of a competent person who can self certificate that the work complies,but push comes to shove,its the householder

Robin, ask the electrician if he will be notifying before the work starts.

If the electrician is registered with a scheme which allows self-certification then it is not necessary to notify until completion.

If the householder employs an electrician who is not registered (or wants to do it himself) then it must be notified prior to the work beginning.

This is, of course, now only applicable to new circuits, new consumer units and work within the zones of special locations, which I presume this work is.

However, all electrical work must comply with Part P and be certified - as opposed to notified, the two are not connected.
