Question?

Can notifiable work carried out by a non certified person, be signed off by a certified person? ie putting their name to somebody elses work.

This is what i'm being told will happen on some work i've asked for quotes on.

I've no reason to think anything underhand is going on, the guy apparently is in the process of becoming classed as a competent person and has made this clear, he asures me the testing and inspection will be carried out correctly and all paperwork will be in place.

I suppose the guy is only trying to do the right thing!

Any comments would be much appreciated.

THE WAY TO LOOK IS IF A CERTIFIED PERSON IS
WILLING TO SIGN OFF THE WORK , BY DOING A PERIODIC INSPECTION , THEN ANY THING THAT IS PICKED UP
( I AM NOT SAYING ANYTHING WILL BE ) CAN BE LISTED AS REMEADIAL
WORK REQUIRED AND PUT RIGHT TO GET CERTIFICATION.
A PART P PERSON BY RIGHTS NEEDS TO DESIGN , CONSTUCT, AND INSPECT AND TEST THE WORK AND BE REGISTERED WITH A PART P
SCHEME PROVIDER TO SELF CERTIFY THE WORK AND SATISFY
LOCAL AUTHORITY BUILDING CONTROL.
U MIGHT FIND A PART P PERSON TO WORK WITH THIS NON REGISTERED
PERSON AND SUPERVISE THE WORK.
