I have come across the term “Certified Competent Person” in relation to the appointment of a Health & Safety Consultant as the “Competent Person” does any one know if the term “certified” is any where in the Regs Guidance or ACOPs. I can’t find it may be some one else has knows what it is referring to.

Hi John,
I know that you have to achieve demonstrable competence in some areas of H&S, e.g Pressure Vessels, though I don't think the term 'certified competent person' is used in this context,

Sounds to me that they are looking for a "qualified" competent person.
i.e. that they have a qualification.

The term 'certified' is marketing speak - often used by consultancies, to force the arm of possible clients.
They fail to point out it has no legal significance whatsoever.
As you have said a competent person is simply defined as someone with sufficient training and experience and experience or knowledge and other qualities to enable him to properly assist (his employer).

You don't say where you info originated. Some countries - like Singapore, USA, Canada, Some H&S posts in Australia as well I understand - do have this terminology based upon legislation.
Apart from that, the previous answer is also about right in my experience.
