[QUOTE="steptoe, post: 246136, member: 7"] I like the gas safe way, and , TBH, every other countries way of doing it, the actual Electrician is Licenced, the registration number belongs to the spark, NOT the company, we all know how the QS system can be abused. Gas Safe doesnt allow this, and I dont know 1 single gas man that would go down a QS route! have the spark licenced to do the work to a standard he has been assessed for, ie, domestic, commercial, industrial, and whether or not this was single or 3 phase, obviously some of this would overlap, Ive done some domestic 3p, and also some ind single phase, but your level of competency would be on your card, ie, domestic 1ph only, com 3ph , dom 3 ph , ind 3 ph + areas A B C etc (TBC) you could probably code the types of ticket to make it easier, Im not trying to say a ind 3ph is better than a dom 1ph, we all know its a different set up, but if we licence a spark for say works 1 2 & 3 then he is verified to work on dom , com , & ind, then if we say he is licenced on codes 1 & 3 (easy number) he can work on single and 3 phase equipment, but would still be prohibited from 2phase or split phase installs! summary, a grade A1 spark would be a normal domestic spark working on single phase, perhaps a grade B1 would be a domestic with outside(ie SWA etc) permitted. is this making sense to anyone but me?
