[quote="ericmark"]Unless in a kitchen or bathroom neither of the examples you have mentioned need Part P. It is required for a new circuit from consumer unit, for consumer unit change, Any changes or additions to Kitchen or Bathroom and work outside not attached to the main building. There is a link to Part P in projects section also to changes with new 17th Edition which comes into force 1st July 2008. One should complete installation or minor works certs for any electrical work but it does not have to be submitted to the LABC. Remember any work on a circuit means you are responsible for that circuit and should inspect and test not only your own work but any work done before. It is the problem of being responsible for whole circuit complying with the regulations which has raised prices of most electrical work where the electrician spend more time inspecting and testing than doing the job.
Thanks for that Eric.......could you clarify what you mean by "installation or minor works certs" Does this apply to diy'ers, what are these certificates and where does the "none professional" joe obtain them from.
