southern ireland certification

[sparkyblue1]

We are a NICEIC + ECA registered uk company we have some commercial contracts in southern ireland, i am just wondering what the implications are as in testing and obviously installation, i know we have to work to the NATIONAL RULES for ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS EDITION FOUR. Do our test sheets from uk cover work done here?

So would you say this method is well inforced?

There was a prosecution not all that long ago which saw a non-REC receive six months' imprisonment (with none of the sentence suspended). The maximum penalty is a number of years imprisonment.

On a more practical level though anything requiring connection/reconnection by the DSO (ESB) will require a certificate to be issued which of course helps to enforce the legislation.

Wow that is definitely enforcing something.

Do you know what the prosecution was for? Is it possible to prosecute someone purely for not obeying the rules, or does an incident have to occur for them to be prosecuted.

Three months was for carrying out Restricted Electrical Works despite being a non-REC and three months for falsely purporting to be an REC. The sentences were ordered to be served consecutively with no part suspended.

That sounds like a much better system than we have.
