Standard Guidance

Reach UK_PART_P_ELECTRICAL readiness without rebuilding your policy programme

Approved Document P is the practical guidance under the Building Regulations 2010 covering electrical installation work in dwellings (England). Most electrical work in dwellings must comply with BS 7671 (Wiring Regulations). Notifiable work must be self-certified by a Competent Person Scheme member (NICEIC, NAPIT, ELECSA, STROMA) or formally inspected. Non-notifiable work still requires BS 7671 compliance. Quick Policy maps UK_PART_P_ELECTRICAL into the policy families, controls, and evidence your team needs — and keeps it current between audits.
