[QUOTE="p1889, post: 508895, member: 3682"] Hi , long time since I’ve posted on here but just after some advice. I’m a fully qualified electrician and have all the relevant qualifications (18th edition, testing and inspection etc). I’ve got tonnes of experience doing EICR’s. I left the trade last year to pursue another career path. I know there are new rules with rentals and electrical checks but I’m a bit confused by it all. I have family members who rent houses out, I can complete the EICR’s no problem at all. I’m I required to register as competent through one of the various schemes? I don’t want to go down this route just for the purpose of doing a few periodic inspections and having to pay a fortune to do so. Basically can I go about completing these and just self certifying them myself? I can attach all my relevant qualifications on the report for the whole “competent person”. Personally I don’t see why I should have to go through a scheme or pay another electrician to do the work I can do myself. Cheers [/QUOTE]
