[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 500581, member: 1408"] I read , yet again , in the latest NICELC Connections Magazine that another register is being created for Electricians who are "Qualified" to carry out Landlord's Rental Inspections . You need to be on the PRS register . Domestic Installers are NOT included . You need 18th Edition £250,000 Professional Indemnity Insurance . An extra half day /year assessment to verify competence in testing . ( Please note ;- This is the very same testing we all carry out on new installs , rewires, board changes, adding a circuit etc ) I present the following scenario for discussion or derision . I rewire an empty house for a client , I test it , I submit an Elect. Inst. Certificate , I notify LBC . The client then says " We're not going to move in here , we're going to rent it . a) My cert becomes unacceptable because I'm not qualified to test rented premises . b) A third party will need to be paid to re-test my work & certify as an EICR . c) NICEIC /ELECSA do not accept third party testing & certing . . d) So Napit , who DO accept third testing would have to attend instead . I feel a letter to my MP brewing . Does this happen in Scotland ...NO..because they have more common sense than us . [/QUOTE]
