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.

    I skimmed through the Scottish Government webpages and it reads like the brief that was given to the English Civil Servants to draft Part P.


    97% of people asked think electricians should be qualified, but don’t think those who aren’t should be banned from doing electrical work, neither should DIYers be banned from doing it, despite the fact that other people may be exposed to risks from their dodgy work and the house may be sold on with a substandard electrical installation.
