Thanks Lenny for posting the rules pdf - I've just read it for the first time (kind of thought I ought to as have annual inspection next week!) and have spotted this little lovely contradiction in it:

Section 1.2.(o) [continuing registration, pg 3]...... accept that if it can only provide access to domestic electrical installation work of a minor nature, the scope of its registration will be restricted to domestic minor works, and..

go to the definitions section and sure enough: Minor Works - Additions, alterations and replacements to domestic electrical installations that do not extend to the provision of a new circuit or a new protective device.

So we have it from source: The NICEIC do not understand Part P of the building regs.
