Me again, Maybe that was confusing. Just to clarify this question, I will break it down as follows: What qualifications do you need to legally work on electrical systems in your country/state? Is the circuit voltage a factor, and if there is a different rule for ELV systems, then how is ELV defined? What other factors are applicable such as status (homeowner, installer, paid/unpaid) and location (inside home, wet location, etc)? Thanks for any observations.
