Hi Jacques, no I am registered as a SPT at the DOL/ECB, not as an IE or MIE. I wrote the installation rules, and passed, in 1987.
One of the requirements for registering as an IE at the DOL in 2002 was the exam results of papers 1 & 2. 15 Years passed at the time when I requested my exam results from FET College. It is now 2010. Nothing.
Which left only one option open, SPT, which I did. (2002).
Which brings me to my original problem: I am not allowed to work on anything else except single phase installations, according to DOL.
God knows what will be the case if I was not registered as an SPT! I would not be legally allowed to work at all! I was under the impression that if you are a qualified electrician with trade test papers, you are legally allowed to work on electricity? (Artikel 13(12) van die Wet op Mannekrag Opleiding, 1981)
In conclusion, I (and thousands more) have effectively been regulated out of a job, a livelihood, a means to provide for my family, which, if tested in a court, could face some serious challenges i would imagine.
Regards-Christo
