Motorcaravan, recreational electrical quals?

[Rooster]

Please could someone advise me as to what kind of minimum qualification/s do I need to sign off Campervan electrics?
I have been self employed fitting/converting vans since 2017. Before that, I have worked for the Police and for a firm building emergency vehicles. This includes command vehicles, mobile police stations, etc. Most contain both 12v and 240v systems, but even though I did not sign off the electrics, I have no actual qualifications for the installation.
Thank you in advance.

The qualifications are useful but not essential, providing you are complying with the Electricity at Work Act; Regulation 16 of which talks of competency - courses help to prove this, then you shouldnt fall foul however there may be other obligations and considerations to follow (such as GSUIR for gas installations within the unit, RTA for motorhomes and similar self-propelled units).

You sound like you have auto/mech experience and so carry on doing what you're doing (assuming you've not buggered anything up or killed/injured someone.

The specific parts of BS7671 (aka Electrical Regs) would be (dependent on use and construction) - It should be noted that these are IN ADDITION to Chapter 13 / Parts 1-6. The additional requirements of the below aim to go above the basics laid out in parts 1-6

708 (ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS IN CARAVAN / CAMPING PARKS
AND S MILAR LOCATIONS ),

717 (MOBILE OR TRANSPORTABLE UNITS)

721 (ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS IN CARAVANS AND MOTOR CARAVANS)

Hi Lister. Thank you very much for this.
I have never had an issue with any of my work over the past many years . I do work to NIC regs at all times as it is a great guide to work to anyway.
Stay safe mate and thanks again.
