NI equivalent to part p?

[marksparky]

Hi folks was hoping someone could clear up a few things about the law of certifying your electrical work in northern ireland, as i understand in england wales you have to be registered with a part p scheme such as niceic elecsa napit, but what about in northern ireland do u have to be registered niceic or notify building control? its just iv been asked by a family friend to carry out some work on commercial premises, any replies much appreciated.

Cheers monkeyelectric and wat about domestic i presume the same applies?

 

[monkeyelectric]

No for domestic you either have to be with niceic, napit or one of the others or notify building control who will be happy to relieve you of £150+ for notifiable jobs, minor works are still ok to do without notification though

 

[marksparky]

cheers and were abouts could i find out more about this, its just most work i would do is domestic and would like to keep it legal for the future iv done few private houses but no site work

 

[monkeyelectric]

Have a look on niceic, napit or elecsa websites they got it all on there

I didnt think that you needed to be registered here in NI for domestic work
How's all the cowboys getting away with it then ? Ive never seen anybody enforce anything like that .
Would be good if it was here though.

 

[marksparky]

well i must say that i 2 know of lots of housebuilders that dont use niceic or any of the others approved sparks

I wouldn't worry, no one enforces it here in England either. They just like your £400+ once a year.

There is no such thing as Part P in Ireland. Notification is NOT required. It is in England and Wales ONLY.

Work away mate no need to tell anybody. Just do work issue cert and that's it.
