[QUOTE="Lurch, post: 399219, member: 6967"] I think the HSE ballsed up by putting the scheme out to tender and changing the name. After spending years making sure the public use CORGI registered fitters they then try and rebrand everything with a different scheme. Madness, and easy to take advantage of the confusion, CORGI now just spam homeowners with extended warranties for boilers in the hope that people will be tricked into thinking they need CORGI for something. CORGI should have been disbanded when the scheme provider changed. No-one knows what is going on, the councils all accept different variations of any old cert to nothing at all, homeowners have no idea of part p or any scheme providers. It's more of a PITA to all involved than anything. If anyone does ever ask for any sort of certificate most do not know why, and most of them aren't worth the paper they are written on anyway. As above though, this varies between boroughs. Part p has been here for 10 years, and it still doesn't work and no-one knows how it works. I could understand if the homeowners were confused but scheme providers and local councils don't have much more of a grasp of what is going on either. The way the electrical industry is at the moment, I wouldn't want to see the rental properties suddenly require certs for properties as a law as the part p thing is already a complete shambles which means there are more cowboys now than there were before part p.
