Deleted for being to controversial.
There is no requirement in Part P for the work to meet the requirements of BS7671.Part P is a building regulation covering domestic electrical work. To meet the obligations of part P, all work needs to conform to BS7671. You are also required to notify some electrical works (e.g. new circuits/work in special locations and some other work) to building control before you start the work. This then needs to be inspected and signed of by building control.
If you are a member of one of the electrical governing bodies that allows you to self notify (and have the relevant qualifications), you do not have to involve building control directly. You can notify them via this scheme once the work is complete (for a much lower fee).
All work needs to meet the requirements of BS7671, and initial varification and testing of all new work should be carried out and recorded on the relevant certificate, even if it doesn't need to be notified to building control.
Despite what many believe, you cannot be qualified to Part P, but many courses supposedly give you suitable qualifications to carry out domestic work and ensure you meet the obligations of Part P.

"Section 1: Design and installation
General
1.1 Electrical installations should be designed and installed in accordance with BS 7671:2008
incorporating Amendment No 1:2011."

Note that the Approved Document provides GUIDANCE on how the Statutory Instrument (P1) can be complied with.good to see that at least one of us is paying attention
Yes, but you'll probably right though Pete.Deleted for being to controversial.
Well put Adam.Anyone can do the C&G 2393, yes; it is a 'qualification' in the introduction to what part P is all about, and is intended for people who might come across electricity but don't work with it as their primary trade, such as handymen, caretakers or plumbers.
The most cost effective way of notifying jobs is to "be part P" which involves joining a "competent persons' scheme" such as Stroma, but you don't necessarily have to have the 2393 to be able to join one.
