Part P Domestic Installer
(C&G 2393-10)

Part P of the Building Regulations came into effect in 2005, and deals specifically with electrical safety in dwellings. Its purpose is to ensure home electrical installations are designed, installed, inspected, and tested to meet the regulations.

The main objectives of Part P are as follows:

1. Electrical Safety: Part P aims to protect homeowners and occupants from the risks associated with faulty electrical installations. It sets out standards and requirements for electrical work in dwellings to minimise the likelihood of electrical shocks, fires, and other electrical hazards.

2. Competency and Certification: Part P promotes the use of competent persons who have the necessary knowledge and skills to carry out electrical work safely. 

3. Compliance and Documentation: Part P emphasises the importance of compliance with electrical safety standards. It requires that electrical installations are tested and certified by competent persons, and that the necessary documentation is provided to homeowners. This could be a Minor Works Certificate for non-notifiable works or an electrical installation and a Part P certificate for notifiable works. 

The benefits of Part P:

1. Improved Safety: Part P helps safeguard homeowners and occupants by reducing the risk of electrical accidents, electric shocks, and electrical fires. It sets standards for electrical installations, ensuring they are properly designed, installed, and tested to minimise hazards.

2. Professional Standards: By requiring electrical work to be carried out by registered electricians or notified to building control, Part P encourages professionalism and competence in the electrical industry. It promotes the use of qualified electricians who have the necessary skills and knowledge to perform safe and reliable electrical installations.

3. Peace of Mind: Compliance with Part P gives homeowners peace of mind knowing that the electrical work in their dwellings has been carried out by qualified professionals and meets the necessary safety standards. It provides assurance that the electrical system is less likely to pose risks to their wellbeing and property.

4. Property Value: Having electrical work certified and meeting Part P requirements can potentially enhance the value of a property. Prospective buyers are often reassured by the presence of an electrical installation certificate and evidence of compliance with electrical safety regulations.

Part P of the Building Regulations exists to ensure electrical safety in dwellings. It promotes the use of competent persons, sets standards for electrical installations, and provides homeowners with peace of mind, improved safety, and the correct certification.
