Discuss What is the legal definition of an electrician? in the Industrial Electricians' Talk area at ElectriciansForums.net
Someone who has the following attributes:I have scoured the internet to see if I can find a 'legal' definition of an electrician. I cannot!
I have found this:
What Is A "Qualified Electrician"? | My Local Electrician
which distinguishes between a qualified and non-qualified electrician but a 'non-qualified' electrician still has 'electrician' in the title.
Normal dictionaries cannot be used as they do not go into any detail. The collins dictionary simply states an electrician as:
a person whose occupation is the installation, maintenance, and repair of electrical devices
The Oxford English Dictionary states an electrician is:
a person who installs and maintains electrical equipment
There are a lot of views about who can call themselves an electrician, generally someone who has served an apprenticeship and has the right NVQ's but is there a legal definition?
