Third Party Inspection Scheme, Three's a Crowd?
Electrical Safety First has raised concerns over changes to the way electrical work in the home is checked to ensure its safety. The introduction of Third Party Inspection schemes for domestic electrical work was recently announced by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG), as part of its changes to Part P of the Building Regulations for England.
Originally suggested during the review of Part P, such third party inspection was considered as a way for DIYers - and those not registered with a competent person’s scheme - to have their work checked and certified.
