Mr Diaz, or anyone out there who is as knowledgeable as him,
Please can you advise how the control of eletrical installation work works in Spain.
I'm hoping to emigrate in the long term, but in the short term I'm starting to learn Spanish and I need to fix my family's house out there. I'm a registered, qualified UK sparks.
I've found various bits of regulation on the web, but they don't seem to form a "complete" picture like our wiring regs and building regs and electricity at work act and dot dot dot.
Is there in fact a complete set of regs and laws and guidance or is it a hodge-podge of bits (not that I'm saying we've really got a system that makes sense here...) ? In either case can you suggest where I could find an overview of this so I can learn how to do it right in Spain.
Second is there a system of registration of sparkies, and how is installation and conformity tested and recorded ?
I will have to work at my Spanish to understand it but hopefully it'll be worth it in the end...
With many thanks
