What am I allowed to do in Scotland? Discussion ThreadWhat am I allowed to do in Scotland? Electrical Advice
I'm looking to remove the shaver socket in our bathroom because it's never been used, but apparently this might be "notifiable" or "certifiable" under updated regs as it's "altering" a circuit in the bathroom.
A google led me to Part P but this doesn't apply in Scotland. So...searching and trying to navigate the Scottish building regs is a total mess, going round in circles. It's like someone has taken Part P and re-written it into 80 pages. I'm reading stuff about competent person is no longer applicable and now has to be done by a "qualified" person but they don't specify what qualified actually means. I've been out of the industry for about 30 years but I have a degree is in EEE. I'm sure that I'm competent enough to remove the socket and make it safe - but am I qualified?
Surely I don't need to pay a spark to do this and certify it? Can anyone clarify?
