Scottish Govt to regulate "electrician" description

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.

  • Hello,

    Indeed Chartered Engineer (C.Eng.) is protected but "Engineer" is not so you can can boiler engineer, electrical engineer (small "e"), gas engineer, etc. and the "man on the street" is not aware of the meaning of C.Eng.

    Unfortunately, this is a lost cause.


    Happy New Year to all!
