Purpose of the new Regulations

The purpose of the new Building Regulations (Part P) is to safeguard persons' safety against fire and injury from electrical installations. Accordingly, the Council will always endeavour to secure compliance with the Regulations and reserves the right to take enforcement action in appropriate cases. A Building Regulation Completion Certificate will not be issued unless a valid Electrical Installation Certificate has been provided. If these procedures are not followed, homeowners are likely to experience future difficulties in selling their properties, and they may find that their house insurance has been invalidated.
