'Appropriate' to many means a neon screwdriver and a socket and see thingy.Or other appropriate test equipment! Not everyone has to use an MFT!

Indeed. That's why I wrote "appropriate" rather than "what you believe to be appropriate"!'Appropriate' to many means a neon screwdriver and a socket and see thingy.

Do you have any test equipment? A copy of BS 7671 AMD3?
EDIT: Part P doesn't apply in Scotland
You're better than me then, the last course I did was all about BS7671 and that was an NVQ level 4 yet I still don't understand the book...Just read and understood 7671.
Just read and understood 7671. I have a multimeter and a socket tester that checks polarity earth and some other stuff
You just read and understood BS7671 Crikey that's good goingJust read and understood 7671. I have a multimeter and a socket tester that checks polarity earth and some other stuff
Sorry folks I didn't understand the question, I just understood the extract that was posted. No way do I understand the spec as I haven't done any training with it. Sorry to give folk the wrong impression of me. Having read all the advice on here, I'm going to stop doing electrical work that is more than like a cracked socket outlet or a light fitting change. Thanks for al the advice.You're better than me then, the last course I did was all about BS7671 and that was an NVQ level 4 yet I still don't understand the book...
Don't do it mate , you just read 7671 and understood it , it's not a 2 page operational manual .you have no qualifications or official training and you feel you can do it and clearly no testing experience as a multimeter won't do it. Just hang curtains and put up shelves before you kill some one , I get so angry with you f**k**s.Just read and understood 7671.

I recently started up my own handyman business and wondered what I am allowed to do in terms of electrical work in customers houses. The sort of thing I am talking about is changing mains sockets, light fittings, light switches, extending existing ring mains... I know that for work in bathrooms and kitchens the work has to be checked out by a registered sparky. I feel I am pretty competant and safe when it comes to electrical work, having been an electrical / electronic tradesman in the forces and done loads of DIY work on my own house.
Would I have to provide a Minor Works Certificate for any electrical work I did? Thanks for any info.
Irrespective of what the the Scottish Government decides, isn't BS 7671 applicable across the UK as a whole ?
Good workmanship by competent persons or persons under their supervision and proper materials shall be used in the erection of the electrical installation. Electrical equipment shall be installed in accordance with the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the equipment.
