Part P (Electrical Safety)

Part P is a UK safety regulation that ensures electrical work in homes is done safely and correctly. It sets standards for installing and repairing electrical systems, preventing shocks, fires, and other hazards. When trained sparks or electricians perform work covered by Part P, they must follow specific rules, often requiring certification to confirm the work is safe. This regulation helps protect residents by promoting high-quality, compliant electrical installations, whether adding outlets, replacing wiring, or upgrading systems, ensuring safety without unnecessary complexity or cost.
