Electrician query

[RobM]

I know gas fitters have to be CORGI registered but is there any mandatory registration for electricians?

NICEIC is the equivalent body

The one that did the scoreboard couldn't have been registered.

Gas Fitters now have to be Gas Safe Registered. CORGI still exists but was replaced as the statutory body on 1 April 2009.

Take no notice of anyone claiming to be CORGI registered as it's been replaced as from April 1st 2009.


There is only one gas safety register that you need to use. Look for the yellow Gas Safe Register triangle not the orange CORGI registration badge.

Anyone carrying out work on gas must be registered with Gas Safe Register. If not, they are breaking the law and putting you and your family at risk.

Only a Gas Safe registered engineer is legally allowed to install gas appliances, boilers, hobs, ovens or fires in your home or workplace.

You must only use a Gas Safe registered engineer for any type of gas work, including installation, maintenance and servicing.(From gas safe website.)

Sure is, They have to be NICEIC registered,as Flinty mentioned, plus any electrical circuits they touch in your home they have to test and certificate, and give you a copy of that certificate. It's called a Part P test. If you have an old type fuse box for example (metal) your system will not pass the test.
Hope this helps
