Electrical Competency, what is it?

David Stone

I want to move to a slightly different branch of the EICR question, and this should cover the range of Electrical work. What makes an Electrician Competent? What makes an Inspector competent, whether for an EICR or EICs?

    Sparkingchip, then you are saying an ability to follow the onsite guide makes one an electrician? 

    I assure you that I could do that when I was 16 or less, but I had much less knowledge of the actual regulations. I don't think this is the right level by a long way for an inspector, although it appears there are many out there who think it is. The attitude Andy may well be to go a good job, but the assessment of “bad jobs” is then very difficult to comprehend, but is essential for an Inspector.

    Certainly "experience time" may be important, but if that is mainly first fixing new houses, then what?
