I was led to think that this is the case but that the NIC were simply trying to get as many people on board so if they can alter the way people think so that naturally we all then believe we have got to join them in order to self cert then hey......
I reckon that as long as you are competent and test, inspect and complete paperwork properly whilst informing/paying LABC then there is nothing wrong with that. In the long run joining an approved body will be much cheaper that paying LABC each time.
