Licensing and certification schemes Sample Clauses

Licensing and certification schemes. In some professions, national licencing systems have been introduced as part of the process of deregulating individual professions from qualifications requirements linked to a reserve of activities. In order to obtain a licence, a service provider (an individual or a company) must meet general rather than specific professional qualifications requirements and may also be required to meet additional criteria (such as a minimum age requirement, being a citizen of good standing without a criminal record, etc.). Examples of licensing scheme adopted as part of efforts to reduce the number of reserves of activities within regulated professions are the professions of tour operator and travel agent in Greece. These professions were formerly subject to a reserve of activities. However, this was repealed during 2011 and replaced by a national licensing scheme. The profession of electrician in the UK provides an interesting example of a certification scheme. A "competent" electrician is an individual who has either notified local Building Control beforehand or is a member of a "Part P" registration scheme and has self-certified that they have the requisite qualifications to carry out electrical work. The Department for Communities and Local Government (CLG) current criteria dictate that assessments should be carried out to ensure that the Minimum Technical Competence of the Electrotechnical Assessment Scheme (EAS) is met. The qualifications or certification requirements vary depending on which Part P registration body is carrying out the work. Proposed electrical work can be undertaken by a Competent Person, which is defined as an individual (or a company) authorised to self-certify compliance with the Part B Building Regulations on the completion of the work. A further example from the UK was identified of a national licensing system in the private security sector. Under the Private Security Industry Act, 2001, a licensing scheme has been set up by the Security Industry Association (SIA), an agency under the UK’s Home Office. Professionals in the security field must go through an application process which includes a police check, but are not subject to any specific qualifications requirements. ***** In summary, the research has identified a number of alternative ways of regulating the market across different professions, sectors and countries which aim also at ensuring high levels of consumer protection and overcoming information asymmetries.
