List of countries that follow BS7671 or thereabouts

[Marc Lajevardi]

I had a look on Google at this which brought a wiki page up which says... BS 7671 is also used as a national standard by Mauritius, St Lucia,Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda, Cyprus, and several other countries, which base their wiring regulations on BS 7671.
However I can't find out what the other 7 countries are, if anyone knows the other 7 that would be great.

I would love to work in a hotter country such as OZ but obviously having to learn their standards and regs etc after 4 years of learning our own just doesn't seem too appealing, so trying to find somewhere decent where I won't have to re-study. Thanks

Thanks for that mate, I was hoping somewhere in Asia (Hot) would pop up but I don't believe HK is a hot country.

28° later this week. How "hot" do you want it to be?

As a rough guess investigate any country that uses a type G plug in this list...

Australia have their regs that are almost the same as UK regs. However, as a form of local employment protection you will have to obtain your relevant state licence dependant on what you wish to do here.

I would want to do domestic really, I haven't had much commercial work yet so I would only feel comfortable doing that. Thanks for the info!

Hong Kong is humid rather than hot.

Hi All
I live in Cyprus. I am an Eastern Electricity Board trained electrician with over 50 years experience and hold a C&G 17th edition 2011/12 certificate.
To work here you must register with the professional registery ETEK and to do so you must demonstrate qualifications or retake all the local examinations.
You will not be allowed to design any installations! This has to be done by a qualified Electrical Engineer.
This being said I have not seen any installation here (except my own) which would pass a UK inspection
