Electrical contracting prohibited unless authorised
33 Electrical contracting prohibited unless authorised
Subject to this regulation, a person who carries on business as an electrical contractor, or advertises, or otherwise holds out or implies, that the person is carrying on business as an electrical contractor, commits an offence unless the person is authorised by an electrical contractor’s licence to so carry on business.
A person does not carry on business as an electrical contractor if —
he or she carries out such electrical installing work as is approved by the Board to be exempted under this paragraph; or
he or she carries out electrical work that would be authorised by an electrical worker’s licence endorsed as a restricted licence; or
he or she undertakes to have work done by an electrical contractor.
A person is taken to carry on business as an electrical contractor whether or not electrical installing work is only part, or is not a principal part, of the business carried on by him or her.
Subject to subregulation (2)(a) and (aa), a person is taken to carry on business as an electrical contractor if the person carries out electrical installing work otherwise than as an employee of a person who is the holder of an electrical contractor’s licence or an in‑house electrical installing work licence.
