ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade Non-US Electrical Systems & Trades Part P -- How are you coping?

Calm down Alan!
I feel it's about time some sort of 'Registration' took place in the UK.
I thought the ECS Scheme would do that but the JIB shot themselves in the foot with the demand for the NVQ3. I've felt for a long time that the 'Poor Customer' has been getting away with it (low prices) for far too long. Part P could be classed as a tax but it does seem quite a complicated way for the government to 'raise a bit more cash'. The fact that I have to pay the NICEIC £1.50 for every notification they make to the local authority on my behalf, again, could be classed as a tax, but by the NICEIC, not Gordon Brown.
This will sort itself out, and then they'll probably roll it out to cover commercial & industrial installations next. Could be a good thing!
