Scottish Govt to regulate "electrician" description

Owain
Currently anyone can call themselves an electrician, without the need for any qualifications or competency.

The Scottish Government is gathering information and views on whether regulations should be introduced in relation to electricians. While the focus of the consultation is on domestic work carried out for individual consumers, it will also apply to commercial and industrial work.

    97% of people want electricians to be qualified, so long as it doesn’t stop them from doing DIY electrical work in their homes, homes that may then be sold on to someone else and it doesn’t stop unqualified people like plumbers and kitchen fitters doing electrical work for them.
