NAPIT Certification Scheme Life after napit part 2

[Gavin A]

Unless I've got it terribly wrong, failing to reported a notifiable job under the building regs becomes a criminal offence and the householder is responsible for reporting said notifiable job. LABC are the ones who can supposedly start instigating any action .....

the person carrying out the works is responsible for notification if you read the legislation rather than going on EF folk law.

and can only self certify if a member of a self certification scheme... by the letter of the law, although building control do have discretion on that.

So what works fine with one council may land you in trouble with another, not saying it will, but it could, either way it's entirely at BCs discretion whether to do you or not

....the person carrying out the works is responsible for notification if you read the legislation .....

I think you may well be right. Having had a quick gallop thro' the legislation rather than relying on the interpretation of the governing bodies it would appear the person doing the work has to report it. But even 'electrical safety first' muddies the waters ... "By law, the homeowner or landlord must be able to prove that all electrical installation work meets Part P, or they will be committing a criminal offence" .... it doesn't say they have to report it, just prove it, presumably by receiving the LABC certificate once the installer has reported it!!

I can see a "no-win-no-fee" opportunity here for poor distressed houseowners who not having had their notifiable work reported have subsequently been traumatised by unscrupulous https://www.google.co.uk/search?cli...a=X&ei=NANAVM_ZMeuV7AabwoCQAg&ved=0CBwQvwUoAAelectricans who have failed to meet their legal requirements ......

Where about does this become our requirement?

I'm as confused as hell, you say your 19, just finished college with a full level 3 C&G 2365, now how did you manage to do that on a standard 1 day a week basis??

Napit doesn't accept a C&G level 3, electrical core qualification, but accepts a electrical trainee course????

Eng, the C&G 2365 is a 3 day a week course. It is a technical qual. It replaced the old 2330. Its not an apprenticeship. It takes two years I think.

This is spot on.....how much does it cost to get BC involved ?
I hate the fact these bodies have to check my work and get payed to do so!!!
I just did my inspection and testing in the hope i can be free......Its a joke that a fully qualified spark is in the same situation as a DIYer with no clue what he is doing.......!!!!

 

[Badged01]

Purely hypothetical of course, I'm sure all electricans doing notifiable work report it to LABC in one way or another ....

 

[Plonker 3]

Not me, although its limited indont seem to have caused any problems so far neither by not doing so.

 

[RG electrical]

How do you get on with building control ? I would love to do the same ........any advice would be good

 

[RG electrical]

If you look at the flow chart for notifiable work a fully qualified spark is treated the same as someone doing DIY with NO knowledge at all!!
Its a joke ...........Nice eic and napit are just money making schemes and are a bloody disgrace!!!
In my view if your a FULLY qualified spark with your test & inspect under your belt thats all you should need !!!
Part P was a big mistake ..none of this has got rid of cowboys in fact its given them credibility ......im sure like me you have all come across their poor workman ship !
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

the 2356 is the old nvq and the nvq is now the 2357 nvq diploma bassically 2330+2356= nvq+tech cert for one fee.

it gets confusing because 2356 is a tech cert but 2365 is an nvq and easy to mistake it because of a typo
