There's no legal definition of an electrician in the UK.

That was in fact the original question I asked. Appreciate your answer.
Of course that is true. But we all occasionally come across individual's who fall in to the "overconfident and undertrained" department and given an opening are happy to take it. Your system would benefit from losing off that loophole.
I think this is a little academic as such a person wont' be concerned with certificates or notification in the first place. It's very easy to make an electrical job 'work'. That's all the customer will care about.Of course that is true. But we all occasionally come across individual's who fall in to the "overconfident and undertrained" department and given an opening are happy to take it.

To the best of my knowledge, it's not. Doing someone else's gas work would be.You'll never stop it. I know a guy who does his own gas work. Illegal, but as you say, over confident DIY will always happen.
Sure - we rather drifted off from the 2 garage sockets into a more philosophical debate!I would normally strongly agree and think having an ecir done should be held in higher regard. I also appreciate that most problems are caused by amateurs but considering that the board has just been changed it's unlikely to cause an issue adding a couple of sockets. There's a lot of electricians that won't both testing or certifying.

Drifted.. yes. My faultSure - we rather drifted off
Philosophical? Not in my view. Its been established that a competent diyer (or an individual who regards himself as) can in fact wire and certify an installation in the UK. I was, nt aware of that. That is a situation that is, nt possible (practically or theoretically) in the ROI system. That's not a criticism by the way, just a comparison.from the 2 garage sockets into a more philosophical debate!
