Electrical installation work in the U.K. usually follows the requirements of the BS7671 current at the time. That being the case, the person verifying the installation would need to be electrically skilled and competent to verify that the installation met those requirements.
Whilst BS 7671 is non-statutory, any issue arising from inadequate verification that caused injury in a place of work, is likely to be viewed by HSE as resulting from a breach of statutory obligations.
