Dr. Fergus Sharkey:

The registered electrical contractor or the registered installer is the person who holds the required competencies and qualifications to sign off on the project. He or she is the one who has to sign the declaration of work, the commissioning certificate and obviously, the set of electrical certificates. They are the three pieces of documentary evidence that the work has been certified by the competent person. Obviously, we are doing a certain amount of checking on that, including physical inspections on sites. There are obviously a quality control procedures and if there are issues found in terms of compliance, electrical safety and so on, that could ultimately lead to de-registration as an installer on our scheme.
