It can't be just me that is completely bewildered by the number of different publications out there. As I'm looking to get Part P registered soon I'm trying to decide what I need in my 'library' and what might be useful.
All the Part P sites seem to say is that it is a requirement to hold 'relevant statutory documents'. Obviously I will be checking once I proceed with the application, but is anyone willing to offer advice on the books that they consider essential/useful to someone doing domestic electrical work?
So far I know I need:
BS7671 inc 2004 Amendments
On-site Guide (Already have and find very useful)
Memorandum of Guidance on the Electricity at Work Regulations (according to one Part P site)
And suspect I need:
Guidance Note 3 : Inspection and Testing
But its not clear if the other guidance notes are necessary? (1 and 7 seem potentially relevant)
I wonder if it would help readers of the forum to have a sticky with recommended/essential publications, since they often seem to come up in discussions?
On a side note, I am rather suprised at the cost of some of the publications, given that they are standards that are expected to be adhered to. A cynic might wonder why they are not at least available online to browse when researching a small point without needing to pay for the whole book....
Any advice welcome
