Subject: Electrical Engineer allowed to do Electrical work? Thu Mar 05, 2009 6:51 am |

hi,m Have been reading in some other posts and the Electrical Safety Act 2002 that Electrical Engineers are able to carry out household electrical works? IS this true or have I misread the info? Also if this is the case, ie that electrical work can be carried out by an engineer, how does one get a cert of compliance.
Thanks |

The short answer is NO.
The system is setup as a very closed shop and doesn't seem to allow for any exemptions for professionally qualified engineers - effectively, the only way to obtain a licence is via an apprenticeship.
In my view, the system is well overdue for an overhaul. ________________
