[QUOTE="Lurch, post: 441288, member: 6967"] I sort of get your point, but ignoring the Gas Safe part I would like someone competent. Being Gas Safe registered doesn't guarantee that, and the inspectors all make up their own versions of the rules so it's actually quite a mess behind the scenes. The JIB would be a good thing to make compulsory, if it was run properly. There's too many other things being put in place that mean different things to different people, like part p, that some people have heard of and some people haven't. It all needs wrapping up and ratifying so it's more like the Gas Safe, so if you a registered electrician you are JIB graded as such, and that is all you need, but the JIB grading would need to do the inspections etc that are currently done by the scams. I can't see any of this happening, so we electricians are left paying for multiple registrations and the customers have no idea who is competent and who isn't. The simple solution to the regs is just to make it loose leaf and update sections as required for a lower cost. This hasn't happened so it sort of shows the willingness of the industry to change.
