I know this has been done to death but, I have just reached the stage
where the electrician is ready to test and the builder about to start
agitating for his final payment.

What is the actual mechanism of certification? *He does it on line* from
the builder. I'll sign it off when I have the gas and electrical
certificates from building control.

The safest would appear to be, wait for the BC to say the job is
finished or....?

If you have got building regs which it sound like you have because you
are waiting for a final cert and you are struggling to get the EIC
from the electrician simply tell the bco to test it, you have paid the
fees it is there job just like Part A B C D... they just hope you will
use a Registered person to save them the work.

You don't normally get a certificate for gas just the benchmark.

Sparks should issue you with an Electrical Installation Certificate, on
paper (unless it's a very high-tech operation) and should also notify the
notifiable (Part P) elements of the work to BC through his accrediting body
(NICEIC, NAPIT or whoever) which should get you a piece of paper from that
body certifying that it's been notified to BC. I think! I'm more familiar
with the gas notification mechanism.

The electrician should deliver an electrical installation certificate
with test results entered (completion certificate) to the person who
commissioned the work. Therefore the builder or yourself should get
one. Obviously if it is the builder you should ask for a copy

Oh!

I got a *building regulations compliance certificate* from the gas safe
register folk.

Basically just confirming that they have been notified, who carried out
the work and a brief description of the job.

That is correct John. About a week after on-line notification the customer
gets a letter to say the work has been notified.
