When it comes to Electrical work.

Usually domestic is households ( but not always), commercial is shops,ind. estate factories, schools, hospitals prisons etc, industrial is petro chem., oil rigs, ship building, sub-station HV works.
Domestic is covered by 17th wiring regs. and sometimes JIB/NICEIC/NAPIT, but not always??? Commercial is covered by 17th wiring regs. under JIB/SJIB National Agreements, industrial sometimes comes under 17th wiring regs. sometimes under JIB/SJIB but more usually NAECI Agreement and also sometimes under client Agreements.
Confusing isn't it? But you can see why there has to be more emphasis on proper training of apprentices/adult trainees because potentially a newly "qualified electrician" could work in all sectors and in my case I have!!!

I think calling ourselves "Indomercial" sparks could allay any confusion

If you honestly believe that daft comment , you have obviously never worked in a Real commercial or Real Industrial environment!!!


One thing to remember here, ...You can take an industrial electrician and and drop him in a domestic environment and with a few pointers here and there would be quite capable of undertaking any work in that category. Try doing that with a domestic electrician and dropping him in a heavy commercial, or industrial surrounding, and see what happens!!!
