Yes, I was just remarking that it is a shame we do not have something similar in the UK.
Saw a bodge up yesterday.
Lady wanted an inspection doing for the Housing Association use. Her husband (an HVAC Engineer) had replaced some light fittings and associated switches in the living room and she needed someone to confirm that the work was OK.
On arrival, the sockets were also off the wall, and the job had changed from lights to lights plus sockets. On inspection he had used a four core cable and used the third grey-sheathed conductor as the CPC and cut the CPC back. A few questions elicited the fact that he had broken the wall, installed a 45 amp junction box and from this he had run this new cct into the living room. Wall made good and newly wall-papered. And all of this from someone who allegedly designed HVAC control systems !
The response to various enquiries left me to believe that other work may have been done. Needless to say I told them to call the HA first thing on Monday and get them to come in a done a proper inspection as I suspected there was more to this. Incidentally the GF sockets showing 25 volts on two separate meters when disconnected.
The wife was literally trembling with anger.
A legal restriction on non-registered person working on electrical installations would be something we really should push for.
