Part P - Qualified Person

You can use an electrician or contractor who is not a member of the 'Competent Person Scheme' but is a 'Qualified Person' e.g. qualified to City & Guilds 2400, or similar (refer to the Electrical Safety Guidance below for a full list)

If the electrical work is an integral part of an extension or new dwelling, for which a Building Regulation application has already been made, you do not need to submit a separate application. You must however, inform us when the electrical work has reached the 1st fix stage - before it is plastered over or covered up, so that we can inspect it for compliance

If the electrical work is not an integral part of work for which a Building Regulation application has already been made (but is carried out by a 'Qualified Person'), then you must submit a Building Notice application together with the appropriate fee. You must also notify us upon completion of the 1st fix stage of work, as noted above

Upon completion, the 'Qualified Person' will carry out tests of the electrical work and providing the results are satisfactory; issue a certificate in accordance with BS 7671. You should keep this certificate for future reference and send a copy to us

After the BS7671 Certificate has been issued, you must notify us, so that we can carry out an inspection of the completed work. If the work is satisfactory, we will issue a Building Regulation Completion Certificate, which you should keep for future reference

We will not however issue the Completion Certificate, until we have received a copy of the BS7671 certificate, and all of the work (including any associated building work) has been satisfactorily completed
