Sounds like what we used to call ''Certified Person''. That designation was recognised Nationally throughout the UK. I wonder what S/Power now call an ''Authorised Person''?? lol!!

First question is why do you want to know?
Are you wanting / needing to do LV/MV distribution work?

It used to be
CP = Competent person, but the scams have buggered that up.

AP = Absolute Pillock.

Given the state of the gear I was last asked to operate you would need to be a suicidal maniac.
No maintenance records.
No network diagram other than a scribbled note.
No prospective fault levels.

I walked away.

You may well be right Tony, though ''Certified Person'' still sounds right to me. It's been a very long time since i was last in a UK MV substation, and terminologies seems to have left me far behind!! lol!!
