Domestic Electrician Qualifications

Hi, Welcome

Recognition for the activity of qualified technician / certified electrician

https://www.dgeg.gov.pt/pt/areas-setori … lectricas/

The application for recognition as a qualified technician must be made in person at the DGEG division 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

(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;

I hope I have been helpful. If you have any further questions, please say.

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 Execução and/or Exploração. I have copies of all my qualifications.
Thank you, Martin

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 Execução is one level below the certificate of Exploração, i.e, Exploração does what Execução does, but the opposite is not allowed...

Execução
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.

Exploração: see Laws (A)
The following electrical installations must be followed up by a technician responsible for Exploração 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...
