PARTP
FOR 1st CLASS ELECTRICAL
What is Part P?
On January 1st 2005 legislation came into effect which brought electrical work in dwellings under the Building Regulations. This amendment to the Building Regulations, known as 'Part P', imposes safety requirements, and also classifies electrical installation work into two basic categories, notifiable and non-notifiable. As a general summary any major work such as rewires, fuseboard upgrades and installing new circuits, plus work in bathrooms, kitchens and gardens is notifiable and it must be notified, with a fee payable, to your Local Authority's Building Control department
If the work is carried out by an electrician who is registered with one of the organizations who administer self-certification schemes, (such as the Domestic Installer Scheme run by the NICEIC) they carry out the work and report the details to their scheme organizer, who then notify the appropriate Local Authority that the work has taken place, and that it has been certified by the person who carried it out as being in compliance with the Building Regulations.
On completion of notifiable work, you will be issued with an Electrical Installation Certificate by your electrician. Once your Local Authority has been notified, you will receive a further Certificate of Compliance for the work carried out.
