Some help with Part P/schemes in commercial building

[will hicks]

Hello, I work as a general 'maintenance man' in a commercial property (offices) but have a background in electrical work and have qualifications including 2391 etc... I do not do much in the way of new installs at my job BUT I have had to put the odd new light in here... extra socket there... should I be part of a body such as NICEIC or Elecsa is my question, as it is a commercial property I'm under the understanding that it is not compulsory? am i correct??

part p does not apply to commercial or industrial works. there's no requirement for you to be robbed by one of the scams.

If there is a dwelling on site it may.

Even if there is a property or dwelling on the site if you don't do any work on it I would say you don't have to. Commercial and industrial don't come under the remit of part P as anyone carrying out any work on that premises should be deemed a competent person under CDM 2015. PartP was introduced to protect home owners from their own stupidity and or lack professional training and skill set.

If the dwelling and commercial property share the same supply they both fall under Part P.
