Notifiable work
Domestic electrical work that must be notified under Part P of the Building Regulations in England and Wales. Wales covers more kinds of work than England; Scotland and Northern Ireland run their own systems. It includes a new circuit, a replacement and some work in bathrooms. There are two lawful routes: an electrician registered with a competent-person scheme certifies and notifies it, or the householder tells local authority building control before starting and pays for it to be inspected.

The distribution board of a domestic installation. A main switch, residual-current protection and a row of circuit devices on a DIN rail split the incoming supply into individually protected final circuits. Modern UK consumer units sit in non-combustible enclosures and increasingly give every circuit its own RCBO instead of sharing RCDs across banks.

The report produced by a periodic inspection of an existing installation, recording its condition against the current edition of BS 7671. Observations are classified by urgency — C1 for danger present, C2 for potentially dangerous, C3 for improvement recommended, and FI where further investigation is needed — and a C1 or C2 makes the report unsatisfactory.
