Relevant Standards - You or your employees must hold or have access to the technical standards for the approved scope. You can access the EAS document on the IET website and purchase BS 7671 (the current IET Wiring Regulations), available at our NAPIT Shop.

Legal Requirements - All electrical work must be carried out safely under the Electricity at Work Regulations:

• In England and Wales, domestic work must comply with all relevant parts of the Building Regulations, particularly Part P, along with their associated Approved Documents.

• In Scotland, the Building Standards must be met in accordance with their associated Technical Handbooks.

Qualifications - The key requirements of the EAS are met via qualifications and/or training. NAPIT provides guides to electrical qualifications which outline the necessary credentials.

Insurance -  Public liability insurance with a minimum coverage of £2 million. For testing and inspection (such as EIS), professional indemnity insurance with at least £250,000 coverage.

Instruments - Access to sufficient instruments for performing relevant tests is required, along with an up-to-date calibration certificate for each instrument.

Inspection -You must make available suitable installation work to demonstrate you and your employees’ ability to comply with BS 7671, the Electricity at Work Regulations and the Building Regulations. You or your employees must also make available the items listed in the EAS Document, along with any other items specified by NAPIT.

Certification - You must provide suitable electrical installation certificates to customers in line with BS 7671 standards.

Website Listing - Upon successful registration, your business will be listed on the NAPIT online search facility.

If you are an electrical Full Scope or Defined Scope member of the CPS scheme you will automatically comply with EAS. For anyone wanting to demonstrate competence to carry out non-domestic electrical installation (or domestic installation outside the scope of Part P) your membership would fall within the scope of EAS alone.

Note: If your work requires both CPS and EAS, there will be no additional changes but the ongoing surveillance assessments of your work may require a sample of both domestic and non-domestic installations.
