"Part P in force by 2004" - is the headline on the front page of the
current
edition [1] of 'Electrical review' news magazine.

Some snippets, more or less verbatim:

- Part P will be introduced into the Building Regulations "by the
end of 2004", according to the [ODPM].

Expect to see a rush of new DIY books as well, full of disclaimers and
warnings.
I presume they will have to withdraw all the old ones from sale to avoid
misleading the punters.

Although if the direst predictions are correct then even changing a light
fitting will require an inspection visit by a qualified electrician.

Nah - never happen.

P.S. how long does it take to train as an electrician (inspections only)?



If they're working from instructions in a book with diagrams, then it would
take about five minutes to show them what to look for on the meters they
carry around with them.
