Depends whether it is a "minor" change. If it is a change within the
kitchen or bathroom then (apparently) the new regs kick into gear.

Referring to the original post for a moment, just who is going to be c
considered as competent to issue a certificate? Someone with C&G2391,
someone with NICEIC registration?

NICEIC registration, and possibly ECA too.

Being a qualified electrician won't count, if the legislation
matches the draft. Remember, the legislation is nothing to do
with improving quality of electrical installations -- there
were easier and much cheaper ways to do that (as done in
Scotland), nor about saving lives (government's own RIA predicts
it will save only 0.8 lives per year, which is just noise).
It's all about the government bowing over to the vested interests.
