Which Electrical Body Are You With?

[Sintra]

Well guys and girls, let's see who you are registered with.

Well excuse me for not dotting i's and crossing T's. As this is an electricians forum I didn't think it necessary to say that reportable work, suprise, should be reported. I did say if they find anything wrong you will be liable but thanks for intimating I didn't, lets me know you didn't read the post properly.

Nothing wrong with my reading, why would the local authority be involved in non notifiable work?

Steady on guys. I'm sure it's all meant to be helpful and just reads a bit formal or whatever.

In the chance of me making myself appear a bit thick, for those who are not with a Cps body, how do you lets say get temporary builders supplies with your local network supplier connected without an approved certificate, and issue a building control number to the builder/customer on a extension or new build, prior completion of works, which in many cases happens to me?. And then of course on completion of such works a new certificate is issued with a new BC number.

Prior to registering with a scheme I have always spoken to the local authority building control and stated that I would be undertaking the work and it would be under the building control notice, as @lennyallover has stated this shouldn't incur any cost as it has been paid for in the building control charge, at that point they may want proof of competence (I used to give them a CV and qualification certs etc). In the past the LABC have sent their tester around to have a quick chat and ensure that I wasn't a complete numpty and knew what I was doing. Most DNO wouldn't care who you are or be worried about whether you are in a scheme prior to connection of a temporary supply. I used to just write out as much as I can get on a cert prior to connection for them. Is that what you mean?

Yes some thing like that, I was just sitting here wondering how others did it, thanks for the reply.

This is the big problem, the Electrical industry is baffling even to us so when the customer is bombarded with advice from several bodies and websites trying to ensure you use there services then this what happens, I was asked if I was part P once to work in a factory on the machinery, I chuckled and explained, we need 1 non profit body to look over everyone like it used to be with the NICEIC before it turned into a profit based scheme provider.

Very well put

I used to be a member with NAPIT, with my company being MG Electrical Installation Services, not enough work to pay for setup each year so I stopped the company, Now I am with IET and Work for UK Power Networks as a BS7671 Test and Inspector and HV switching Level B, level Ap on Network Rail 33kV HV Network

I have a choice of going NAPIT full scope or NICEIC only Domestic Installer due to pricing being around the £500 mark, which would you guys choose ?
