Hi,

I've been following the threads on here regarding Part P and its effects on
DIY work on-and-off since late 2002, and I thought I now understood exactly
what the situation was.

But today on the Rospa site I see the following unqualified statement:

quote
Notification will not be required if –
*....
*...

* DIY work that follows the IEE guidance or that in the listed DIY
manuals based on BS 7671 and IEE.
/quote

(http://www.rospa.org.uk/productsafet...electrical.htm,
section 3.2.5 )

Is this correct? This would imply that one **can** do major works as long as
7671 is followed.

Comments anyone ?


I don't think that this is correct. They seem to have confused
standards for the work with what is and what isn't controlled.

Have a look at
