Nijinski001 said:I was thinking more about competence to install commercial installations.
Nijinski001 said:Does EAL Domestic Installer qualify me to work on these?
Nijinski001 said:If not what do I need?
Nijinski001 said:The question on I&T was for rented dwellings and the associated regs
Nijinski001 said:With the testing I covered on the course am I officially covered providing I pass the NIC accreditation process?
pdcelec said:But I&T is part of installing to BS7671
pdcelec said:see the bold bit. Do you think it does?
pdcelec said:Knowledge and competence of commercial installations
pdcelec said:BS7671 are the associated regs
pdcelec said:Could you explain this a bit more as I do not fully understand what you are saying.
pdcelec said:But I&T is part of installing to BS7671
Nijinski001 said:I understand that but although I am installing to BS7671 I am only qualified as a Domestic Installer.
Nijinski001 said:Is rented property regarded as domestic or commercial?
Nijinski001 said:Also what are the insurance requirements for these properties with regard to safety certificates?
pdcelec said:see the bold bit. Do you think it does?
Nijinski001 said:Now that is pedantic!! There isn't such a thing as a 'Commercial Installer' qualification is there? and C&G is just a more in depth version of the course I have taken.
pdcelec said:Knowledge and competence of commercial installations
Nijinski001 said:My point entirely. Are you saying that I don't need any further qualification?
pdcelec said:BS7671 are the associated regs
Nijinski001 said:But BS7671 is a standard NOT a qualification.
pdcelec said:Could you explain this a bit more as I do not fully understand what you are saying.
Nijinski001 said:What I am asking is as per aove but adding that if I am NIC accredited with the qualification I have is it enough to have the competence and experience you mention without further paper qualifications?
Nijinski001 said:C&G is just a more in depth version of the course I have taken.
There is no legal definition of "competence". There are no mandatory qualifications required to demonstrate competence.Nijinski001 said:Thanks FWL that is roughly what I expected as a final answer but just to clarify are you saying that in your opinion without the C&G I can't legally work in anything other than 'domestic'?
Anybody who is "competent" can carry out PIRs, or, indeed, issue full I&T EICs. There is no legal definition of "competence". There are no mandatory qualifications required to demonstrate competence.One final question then I'm goin to draw a line under this.
With your definition of the rented properties am I legally able to issue safety I&T certificates to private rented properties
No idea. I doubt that anybody knows, but I'll bet that NICEIC/NAPIT/ECA/BSI/ELECSA/UTCAA are lobbying hard...and will this extend to the house sellers pack that comes in in 2007?
