Stroma Certification Add Part P to their CPS Offering

Following the release of the Stroma Certification Competent Person [Self Certification] Scheme earlier this year for heating/hot water and renewable systems, we are delighted to add Part P Electrical Installations to our current training schemes for experienced and entry level electricians alike.

Becoming a member of Stroma Certification’s Competent Person Scheme ensures that operatives can carry out design, installation and issue self-certification for compliance with the Building Regulations.

Installations carried out by a non-registered person will have no evidence of compliance. As a result a building notice or full plans application must be submitted incurring additional Building Control fees for inspection and approval.

Stroma CPS is a scheme run for the members’ benefit:

• All members’ details shall be advertised openly to promote their services
• All scheme profit shall be re-invested for the benefit of scheme members
• Scheme annual accounts are provided to all members to ensure transparency

Key criteria for joining the CPS:

• Can demonstrate relevant technical and safety standards
• Can demonstrate high standards of codes of practice and professionalism
• Adheres to regular checks and standards set out by the CPS scheme

Should the installer be deemed competent in their respective field, they will be invited to join the CPS and begin taking advantage of self-certification. Members will be subject to annual re-assessments to ensure standards and adherence to the Building Regulations is continually achieved.

For further information on the CPS scheme register your interest via the application form.
