PART P (ELECTRICS)

Changes to Part P of the Building Regulations now mean that a significant proportion of all electrical work carried out in dwellings in England and Wales now has to be notified to the local Building Control department and a certificate of compliance issued to the householder.

Operatives carrying out electrical work have two options:

To notify Building Contol directly who then will send out an inspector to inspect, test and certificate the installation (a significant additional charge will be incurred for this service)
To become a member of a competent persons scheme - the scheme will then allow the operative to self-certify the work and the scheme provider will notify the Building Contol department on the operatives behalf - no further visit or costs will be incurred from Building Control

In order to join a competent persons scheme, the operative will be required to hold a current electrical qualification. The operative will also be subject to an on-site work inspection which will include tests on ability, test equipment, technical documentation amd insurance.

Many operatives who carry out notifiable work (particularly those who work in the heating and plumbing industry) do not have a current electrical qualification that is one of the requirements to join a competent persons scheme. With this in mind, BPEC Certification have developed a defined scope electrical qualification.

Both CORGI, NAPIT and ELECSA who are approved by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) to run Competent Persons Schemes have fully approved the BPEC Certification Ltd electrical qualification as meeting the requirements to enable an operative to join their scheme

The qualification is now available at many of the BPEC Certification Ltd approved assessment centres around the country

West London Training, based in Ash Vale, Surrey, were the first assessment centre to be approved to offer a range of assessments under the scheme. West London Training are offering the full range of the electrical assessments and associated training courses to provide operatives with the necessary qualifications to register with CORGI, NAPIT or ELECSA* to carry out defined scope electrical work in accordance with the requirements of Part P. *also full scope.

BPEC Services Ltd have also developed comprehensive training materials to support the Scheme. Please call 0845 644 6558 for details of how to order to order a training manual.
