Hi Sparks
Thanks for the fantastic explanation of a COC.
Can you please explain to me what the difference between a COMPETENT person (as defined in the General Machinery Regulations 1988) and a Registered Person is. The reason for this is with regards to Section 5.5 - Compliance of Installation From Commencement to Commissioning - Electrical installation is one of five or more installations on the same supply i.e. a block of flats each with their own DB.
Is it true that an registered person can sign this part of the form so long as he/she has fulfilled ONE of the requirements as stated in the General Machinery Regulations (Served Apprenticeship/ T3 or N5 / Engineer ) There has been much confusion around this section as to who can and can't sign. So for example a trade apprenticeship served with NTC 3, trade tested electrician with 18 years experience. Surely this will show his competence to sign this part of the COC.

thanks again
