Part P

On January 1st 2005, new Part P Building Regulations were enforced in England and Wales to reduce the number of deaths, injuries and fires caused by faulty electrical installations and to make it harder for the "unqualified" to leave electrical installations in an unsafe condition.

The risks posed by unsafe electrical installations and portable appliances are electric shock, burns and other injuries arising from fires in buildings ignited by electrical components overheating or building up dangerous currents causing 'arcing'.

Installations that are properly designed, installed, tested and commissioned in accordance with British Standard BS 7671 (a requirement of Part P) will help minimize these risks.

For the purposes of Part P, the Government has defined 'Competent Firms' as those registered under the ECA Approved Contractor scheme, the Domestic Installer Scheme and the Electro technical Assessment Scheme.

For the purposes of Part P, the Government has defined 'Competent Firms' as those registered under Approved Domestic Installer Contractor Schemes. If you decide against using a registered firm to carry out any work for you, bear in mind the following points:

• There is no guarantee that the electrical installation is safe
• You will have no official record of the work you've had carried out
• You may have difficulty selling your home if you do not have the right electrical safety certificates
• Your local authority's Building Control Department may insist that you put right any faulty work
