Claim: Competent person Scheme in the UK was the 1991 Building Regulations Act and it also happened between 2002 and 2010.
Evidence: The forerunner to the Competent Person Scheme in the UK was the 1991 Building Regulations Act, which enabled gas-heating appliance installers to self-certify that their work was safe and legal, rather than needing external checking. Then from 2002 to 2010, a series of Competent Person Schemes were implemented widely in the buildings sector to enable builders to self-certify that their work meets regulations in eighteen different fields.
