How to Check a Technician’s Licence
Ask for the licence number, class, issuing body and exact scope. Then check the relevant official register before technical work starts.
1Identify the work
Spa diagnosis, pool equipment, gas heater, heat pump, plumbing, drainage or robot repair.
2Ask for evidence
Licence number, class, qualification, person attending and business contractor authority where relevant.
3Use the right register
Electrical, gas, plumbing and refrigerant checks often use different registers.
