who's responsibilty?

[VoltzElectrical]

You'll have to pardon my ignorance on this guys, but just who's responsibility is it to notify notifiable works is it? Something in my memory tells me that it is the home owner, so if this is the case, why don't we sidestep the schemes, issue the certificates, and let them sort it out?

I know there is a logical answer, but not doing domestic works, or being registered, I just thought I'd throw this one out knowing I'm wrong, but also knowing you're all just dying to post about this!

Happy days comrades.

isnt that a 17th edition question
the installer should notify works within part p requirements
if hes not registered he should notify building control and pay there premium he must also hold 2391 testing qualification
i know alot of ex subbies who do there own work and are not registered no insurances etc etc it still goes on

Certainly nothing to do with the 17th edition.

BS7671 covers all of England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland.

Part P is a building reg and, in terms of the schemes etc, only covers England and Wales. And I think to complicate that a little further it could become different in Wales in the future as well.
