Part P and Commercial Property

[ppuch1]

Hi all,

Just wanted to get an opinion on Part P and a commercial property with a domestic property that is attached to the premises. such as flat above a shop etc. Just curious as to how you guys/gals play this, especially with regards to Inspection and Testing.

btw I work for a large Electrical company and want to test the water, so to speak.

Thanks

1.3.2 scope of part p
(i) dwellings and flats
(ii)dwellings and business premises that have a common metered supply
for example shops and public houses with a flat above with a common meter

(iii) common access areas in blocks of flats such as corridors and staircases
(iv) shared amenities of blocks flats such as laundries and gymnasiums
hope this helps

so if the flat has it's own meter, then only the flat comes under part P..
if the flat shares a meter with the shop then the flat AND the shop come under part P..

Jock, thanks...
I will have to take a longer read of Part P and decipher the part you mentioned.

Most if not all of the properties I have come across so far have had their own supply and meter. I am just concerned that I may be working on stuff that I am not registered to. As we also do any remedial work that may be required after doing the testing.

Not sure how Part P works with regards companies that mostly do commercial/retail work. i.e. can a company be Part P registered (or need to be) to work on Domestic stuff if it happens to be part of a business. As the business may let the property out to non employees.

doesn't matter whether it's let out to staff or not.. it's still domestic if they live there..
