Electrical Installation Requirements in Scotland
A new system for regulating electrical installation work in Scotland was introduced in May 2005.
Any electrical work carried out under a building warrant applied for after this date will either have to be carried out by a registered electrician, known formally as an Approved Certifier of Construction (Electrical Installations to BS 7671), or be approved by the local Authority.
Mayfield Interiors are registered as an Approved Certifier of Construction and as an Approved Body with Select and The Scottish Building Standards.
It is the responsibility of the building owner to establish if a building warrant is required. Your local authority will be able to advise if electrical work you intend having carried out needs a building warrant.
