Notifiable work

[michaelsf90]

I'm a fully qualified electrician but I've always worked for companies. Currently a maintenance electrician at a hospital. I've done domestic in the past and I know outside work is notifiable. I ran some twin and earth to the back of the house and then outside I have a wiska box. Out of that is 4mm swa to my shed with a small wylex consumer unit in. Out of that is 3 circuits. One for shed lighting. One for a socket in the shed and one is a 2.5mm swa that goes to the back of the garden to 2 ip rated fused spurs that feed my pump and filter for the pond. Now this may seem a silly question but do I need to install an earth rod for the consumer unit in the shed. Also i clearly did it myself so should I get someone to test it? It's all fed off a 32A rcbo in the consumer unit in the house on it's own circuit

From their PoV it's the easiest way to have someone else to blame if the certificate they accept turns out not to be all it claims - i.e. it's the easiest way to cover their backside.

And that, in a nutshell, is the whole point of Part P. Nothing to do with standards. Nothing to do with safety.
All just to get a name and signature on a bit of paper, so there's someone to blame when things go t*ts up.
