Licensed electrician to install?
I have a frequent young visitor who has taken a shine to the power point in my hallway so I bought the items pictured.
But when I look on the back of the packaging it says I need a licensed electrician to install them.

I think you'll find that statement is on anything to do with electrical items.
To grow old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

Make sure you get a certificate of electrical safety when he finishes the job...

I had a sparky here recently doing some work. Previously I got a copy of the certificate when work was done. I've been told that it is now electronic and have not been sent anything, which raises the question as to who is the certificate for? Not for the home owner obviously. As you don't know whether a certificate has been submitted or not, is this one of those 'we will wipe out the black economy' schemes, which would only work if they can eliminate cash payment?

Hi Michael, Guys,
Its a bit like the vehicle MOT here, its all done on computer ! But you do get a receipt as proof that you have had the mandatory MOT done.
I would have thought that the same scheme would be in force for any licensed trade.
We now have to provide proofs for work done to your house in order to sell it, or have it inspected at your cost if you haven't.Best Regards:
Baron J.

I would surmise that the same packet is used across the board for quite a few other electrical items.
Hence the warning applies to those other those items that require connection by said electrician. Just HPM being cheap and covering their corporate bum at the same time.
