Electrical Scheme Membership

MEM10001
If you are carrying out electrical work, the type of work you do will determine which schemes are relevant to you. Different schemes apply depending on whether you work in domestic, commercial, or industrial settings, as well as the specific nature of the installations, inspections, or maintenance you carry out. T&Cs apply

 

Please select at least one Scope to add the product to the basket.

Description

Electrical work can fall under the Competent Person Scheme (CPS), which will allow you to self-certificate notifiable domestic electrical work under Part P of the Building Regulations for England and Wales. 

Work within the commercial and industrial sectors, or outside of England and Wales, falls under the Electrotechnical Assessment Specification (EAS). IF the work you do relates to energy efficiency or renewable technologies, it could also fall under the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) or Energy Efficiency Measures (EEM).

Scheme Requirements

Please see the tables below for what is required for the electrical scheme membership:

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) from the NAPIT Shop online store.

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.
