    The legal position is that only a Registered Electrical Contractor is permitted to rewire and certify a domestic installation. Neither the ECSSA or RECI are permitted to certify domestic installation work for non registered electrical contractors anymore. This has nothing to do with electrical qualifications.

    This thread is not the place to argue/discuss the rights & wrongs the Restricted Works legislation.
