ah, Ok. Being in Scotland we dont have DI's but I always thought the NICEIC didnt allow commercial/3 phase work under the DI scheme. Thats where my comment was aimed. Obviously wrong.

It's not up to the NICEIC to allow or disallow anything.
If you are registered with the domestic installer scheme then you are a member of their scheme for self certifying work for the purposes of part P, it does not in any way 'allow' you to do any particular type of work or not.

If you are registered with the DI scheme you can self certify and notify domestic work for the purpose of Part P and use the NIC DI logo on paperwork and domestic certificates.
If you are an approved contractor you can use the approved contractor logo on paperwork and certificates for all areas of work covered by that registration but it does not allow the notification of jobs for the purpose of part P without additionally being registered with the DI scheme (its free for approved contractors but still has to be done) .
You can be registered with either scheme, or both.

Or alternatively you can do electrical installation work without being a member of the NICEIC at all.
 
One I had last year was a small Chinese takeaway.....the amount of faults I picked up was ridiculous.....he paid me anyways for the report and then just went with another spark who basically found nothing wrong......cheaper than getting me to repair all faults.....crazy times man ?

Yeah, ok. I’ll duck out now. Sorry I wasn’t more clear. My bad.
