No EIC for recent Flat conversion

So 'Part P' is the Building Regulations legislation written into law, and under it sits the 'guidance' notes 'Approved Document P', which makes perfect sense now.

The notification tof certain works to BC - again is as you say Section 12(6A) of that written Law.

Indeed - the important point being that there is no legal compulsion to comply with the 'guidance' in Approved Document P, if one can find some other way of demonstrating that one has complied with )the one sentence of) the legislation which is 'Part P'.

The notification tof certain works to BC - again is as you say Section 12(6A) of that written Law.

Exactly - and, although the two are obviously 'related', the notification requirements. per se, are nothing directly to do with 'Part P'.

Just to add that a major part of the confusion is that prior to some date in 2005, neither part P nor the notification requirements existed. Both appeared at the same time in the same revision of the BRs, so "Part P" came to be used interchangeably with "notification requirements of the BRs".
And of course, the sudden appearance of many charlatans out of the woodwork exploiting the confusion for their own gain didn't help.

I suppose that is 'understandable'. There have, of course, always been lots of 'notification requirements' in the Building Regulations but, prior to 2005, the scope of the BRs did not include electrical work - but, when the scope was increased (by addition of Part P) to include electrical work, it is understandable that corresponding notification requirements (for electrical work) then also appeared.
