Security Technician Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 i think this may have been mentioned before but i am hearing various reports about part p for electrical work, my mate reckons that after january we wont be able to connect a flex from a spur into a panel and also fit extra sockets etc in our wn homes i was under the impression that it was only for new circuits rather than adding into existing.. also has any one got a guide to dd243 they could send me, beenasked to spec a job for a mate but its to be monitored so wanna make sure i do it right
Monteey Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Ha if anyone thinks im gonna stop doing electrical work in my own home they got another thing coming! I dont think that part p is that stringent as to go far enough to stop people connecting flex into a spur, but again they got another thing coming if they seriously think we all going to sit about for an hour for an electrician to come and connect in a spur. Afraid i live in the real world, not some regulation world dreamt up by some moron in an office with nothing better to do.

Guest Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Basically, if you're altering existing wiring, e.g. adding a spur, then you're fine. If you go to the extent of adding an aditional circuit then you're not fine, Part P PDF here, Part P info here.

Monteey Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Couldnt agree more mate, im all for stopping the cowboys, but this is just a farce, noone knows what they can and cant do as the whole implementation process has been handled by a bunch of incompetent idiots. I mean who the hell is going to be able to fork out 500 quid for a course just so you get a piece of paper, its truly ridulous, ok yes training is good but at a reasonable cost, not this daylight robbery.

Guest RICHL Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 Smart1, is part p all part of a larger grand scheme or something?
Smart Electrics Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 You tell me? as far as I am concerned its a waist of money £500 for C&G 16 Edition and another £500 for Test and commissioning. Oh and another £600 to register with the scheme witch is annually. As you can see a lot of money.
Guest RICHL Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 no doubt payable to our wonderfull government.
