Whatever they do, it'll just be another money spinner for the big boys. Do you think that they will ACTUALLY ask anyone at the coal face for a simple idea or two?
I see your point but really, ALL work involves testing and certification.
I want to see decent fines for householders that use non-notifying electricians and a good campaign to publicise it!
The Marx brothers, Laurel + Hardy and Part p ,3 of the most comical acts in history
My veiw differs a little with Kens
I believe all domestic installation should be open to any Tom Dick or Harry who thinks they can install (just as well,because installation monitoring is un enforceable)
The assurance of standards could be via the Pir
Make it mandatory for house sales
Make it thorough and make the issuing of a report exclusive to someone with the 2391 and PI insurance
Make that report compulsory to be logged with the government and get rid of all the schemes
No more visual con tricks
No more hoodwinked customers
No more Qs oversigning,just truthfull competent assessments that have teeth
If they are negative then, reduced charges or penalties at the point of sale,increased insurance etc

My emphasis should really have been on publicity to educate the public, surely there aren't many that haven't heard of CORGI or Gas Safe now?
It's taken years but people seem to understand that if gas is involved then a member of the above must be selected.
Maybe we could have such a system, almost licensing, that's what I'd like to see.
If they want you to be a member of a scam why do they make you jump through hoops and have to go through LABC first, who when asked tell you incorrect information with regards who is supposed to inspect nad test it
ad the biggest scam is for them to say it costs £190 to send a ex joiner or similar out to inspect electrical work
and they may have to send another electricia to inspect and test your work even though you are qualified especially all the guys who have more than enough experience and qualifications
the only time a person should have to notify building control is if they are DIY or have no qualifications
It was always my understanding that electrical work carried out to bs7671 included testing and inspection, whats all this 2391 all the time these days??????? 2391 used to be a more in depth knowledge of testing and inspecting but these days people seem to think you shouldnt even know what a a test probe is without having prior done some sort of college course- more expense(sighs)
Disgraceful charges, but without a final sign off on the property where's the options ?
A full PIR on sale ?
ATB S
House Insurance demanding a 10 yearly PIR from qualified person to continue insuring. Bearing that in mind the householder would dam well make sure that work was done by qualified/experienced people not just some chap from the pub. Your car insurance is invalid without an MOT, most people MOT their vehicles. It is unlikely that the sort of people who choose to live outside the law would own there own houses - the onus would then be on the landlord.
I doubt that too many people who own there own houses would risk there biggest asset by not insuring it.
