The object of this Regulation is to amend the Building Services Corporation

Regulation 1990 so as:

• to provide that an individual who does electrical work is exempt from the requirements of section 14 of the Building Services Corporation Act 1989 relating to unqualified electrical work if the individual is employed by an electrical supply authority principally for the performance of work other than electrical work but the electrical work is done in the ordinary course of the employee’s duties

• to require particulars of the number of complaints against licence holders (other than those which have been resolved or rectified to the satisfaction of the Building Services Corporation) to be included in the register maintained by the Corporation
