Our Voltimum Experts answer your questions on a daily basis in our Technical Expertise area. This Question of the Day concerns an electrician with many years experience and a number of qualifications. It is answered by SELECT:
1) Can I self-certify my own work - domestic, retail or commercial?
2) What certificates must I use?
3) Is the certificate in the Regulations book Appendix 6 good enough?
4) Do I need to be part of a scheme?
Answer: Providing that your BS7671 training is up-to-date, then you can consider yourself a competent person and, as such, you should issue the appropriate certification for any electrical work carried out.
You have not stated which part of the country you are working in. If in England and Wales, then for domestic work you would require to be Part P registered. If in Scotland, and if a building warrant was required, then Scottish Building Standards (SBS) would require a Certificate of Construction to be issued, which can only be signed by an Approved Certifier of Construction (generally a member of SELECT or the NICEIC).
