Domestic Electrician Qualifications

Muts8979

Hi all

So all my electrician's UK City & Guilds qualifications don't apply over here it seems.

Okay I accept that, but can anyone tell me what exams I need to take in Portugal to operate by myself, i.e. being able to sign off my own work?

Which body does them?
Where I can do them?
Are any online?

Appreciate that they are probably only done in Portuguese.

TIA, Martin

Hi, Welcome :)

Recognition for the activity of qualified technician / certified electrician



The application for recognition as a qualified technician must be made in person at the DGEG division corresponding to your area of residence.

In the case of engineers or electrotechnical engineers, the application for this recognition may be made by mail or email, to the division of the DGEG corresponding to your area of residence.

Documents you need to submit:

i) Fill in the application form as appropriate:

- draft for engineers and technical engineers
- draft for responsible technicians other than engineers/technical engineers

(On the website you have these documents in Word, called "minutas" which you must print and fill out one of them, according to your case).

ii) Document proving your academic qualifications, or authenticated photocopy (only complete courses) or, in the case of engineers or technical engineers, document proving the registration of the engineers professional association (ordem dos engenheiros), in the electrical engineering college, or authenticated photocopy;

iii) Copy of your identification document;

iv) Copy of the tax number document (portuguese NIF).

This registration of technicians in charge of private service electrical installations is carried out at the DGEG offices at the following service locations:

Thank you that's extremely helpful, I'll go through the process you have outlined.

Sorry just need to check

1. I presume that as an electrician with qualifications that I would fill in the second option document but I am unsure which box I should tick 贰虫别肠耻莽茫辞 and/or Explora莽茫o. I have copies of all my qualifications.
Thank you, Martin

JohnnyPT

Martin, you need to check this next to DGEG ...

But from what I have understood (well, I am not an energy technician...), the certificate of 贰虫别肠耻莽茫辞 is one level below the certificate of Explora莽茫o, i.e, Explora莽茫o does what 贰虫别肠耻莽茫辞 does, but the opposite is not allowed...

贰虫别肠耻莽茫辞
Responsible for the execution of Low Voltage Electrical Installations (type C), with power up to 41.4kVA, provided that he has civil liability insurance / Seguro de responsabilidade civil.

Explora莽茫o: see Laws (A)
The following electrical installations must be followed up by a technician responsible for Explora莽茫o because of their complexity or risk:
(a) Type A installations with a power output exceeding 100 kVA;
(b) Type B installations;
(c) Type C installations established in locations subject to the risk of explosion, with a power supply from the network exceeding 41.4 kVA;
(d) Type C installations with a capacity exceeding 100 kVA...

Classification of Electrical Installations:

a) Tipo A - Instala莽玫es com produ莽茫o pr贸pria, de car谩ter tempor谩rio ou itinerante, de seguran莽a ou socorro, quando n茫o integrem centros electroprodutores sujeitos a controlo pr茅vio ao abrigo de regimes jur铆dicos pr贸prios;

b) Tipo B - Instala莽玫es que sejam alimentadas pela RESP em m茅dia, alta ou muito alta tens茫o;

c) Tipo C - Instala莽玫es que sejam alimentadas pela RESP em baixa tens茫o.

Hi, is this the same for Madeira, is there a local office where this can be done or does it have to be mainland Portugal? Many thanks.
