The legislation also seeks to impose criminal sanction where a person engages in electrical contracting work while not registered with one of the contracting supervisory bodies. It would also address an additional shortcoming with the current system. The supervisory bodies have been unable to enter premises to inspect work carried out by electricians or electrical contractors in circumstances where the owner of the premises has refused admission. In such circumstances, it is impossible for the contracting bodies to determine if the electrical installation has been completed to a satisfactory standard or if there is some deficiency from a safety perspective. Under this legislation, the Commission for Electricity Regulation could appoint an authorised officer to carry out an inspection, and where it was carried out in a house and the home owner refused admission, there would be a provision facilitating a court order to permit such an inspection.
