The electrical inspector’s voice and input into the affairs of the industry is vital.
This editorial will focus primarily on electrical inspector certification and recertification in the United States for the purpose of covering proposed changes that will affect the IAEI program in the US.
In similar fashion, without electrical inspectors enforcing the electrical code, many will not follow those established rules.
Certification is an important step in the progression of becoming a truly professional, highly trained and skilled electrical inspector. The Canadian Section of the IAEI promotes an inspector certification program in Canada and operates separately from its counterpart in the United States. An article on the Canadian Electrical Inspector Certification Program is scheduled for a later date.
