Competent person self-certification schemes: Statistical Information

Introduction

The Department has authorised a number of competent person schemes in Schedule 3 of the Building Regulations 2010 (as amended).

Every six months we ask the schemes to provide us with information on their total registered membership at the end of the six month period and the number of jobs the registered members have undertaken in the period.

The latest tables in the Excel Workbook below, sets out the information covering the periods from 1 October 2010 to 31 March 2011 and 1 April 2011 to 30 September 2011. Other tables within the workbook cover the following periods:

  • April 2010 to September 2010
  • October 2009 to March 2010
  • April 2009 to September 2009
  • October 2008 to March 2009  
  • April 2008 to September 2008  
  • October 2007 to March 2008   
  • April 2007 to September 2007
  • October 2006 to March 2007

Notes

  1. Registered membership is by business, not by individual. Many businesses will consist of more than one competent individual so the total number of competent individuals will be higher than the registered membership figures.
  2. Schemes are authorised by the type of work that their registered members carry out. However, in many schemes, particularly those dealing with the installation of heating, hot water service, air-conditioning, mechanical ventilation and plumbing systems, registered members do more than one type of work. To prevent as far as possible double counting of registered members or notifications to local authorities (which often encompass more than one type of work) the statistics combine all types of work (except electrical installations) for each of the scheme operators.
