Overview
Competent Persons Schemes were introduced by the Government to allow individuals and enterprises to self-certify that their work complies with Building Regulations, as an alternative to submitting a Building Regulation application.
These schemes cover the following works:
- Replacement windows;
- Installation of gas or oil fired burning appliances;
- Electrical installations;
- Sanitary ware in a dwelling;
- Ventilation and air conditioning.
You should always ensure that a Building Regulation application is made to your Local Authority if your installer is not registered under the Competent Person Scheme.
