What is Competent Person Scheme (CPS)?
Competent Person Scheme (CPS) was introduced by the UK Government to allow individuals and enterprises to self-certify that their work complies with the Building Regulations as an alternative to submitting a building notice or using an approved inspector. Competent Person Schemes help to tackle the problem of incompetent builders by raising standards in the industry and enabling consumers to identify competent installers. They also allow building control bodies to concentrate their resources on areas of higher risk.
CPS providers have now informed us of these upcoming changes, to make future scheme entrants aware of the new requirements for joining. We welcome these changes as we believe they will bring a positive change within the electrical sector, helping to push for a greater level of competency of contractors.
