 Re: Competent Person Scheme
Ahhhh.....
Shakey, you are the font of all knowledge.....it's all becoming a bit clearer now......
I shall have a nosey at 7671, and see what the crack is...
Many thanks

Right....it's all clear now....
Basically anyone "competent" can install, test and certify their own work, and issue a 7671 cert, after informing LABD via a Building Notice form. LABD will charge a snippet under a hundred quid for this, and will inspect the work at some stage (or stages) before issuing a Completion Cert.
By joining a competent persons scheme you cut out LABD (and their fees) and self certify in accordance with 7671.
So my previous comments about the NIC etc holding you to ransom are a little unfair....their fees are covered by the savings on LABD fees on the first few jobs.......
The only thing still a little unclear is......"competent"......and what the NIC etc expect you to front up with.....17th Edition obviously, Domestic Installer EAL, Insp/Test 2391? There doesn't appear to be a set minimum on quals.....confusing.....
