Similar here in NZ/Aus but there are types of work that can be carried out without an independent inspection/sign off, electricians are expected to be carrying out work up to the electrical code but inspecting everything is far too much.

 

Getting a new circuit breaker and branch of power outlets off that don't require independent inspection, the person/company carrying out the work has to issue a certificate of compliance and in doing that makes them legally liable for their work; deaths, fires, malfunctions due to improper workmanship etc.

 

Electricians also have to look for evidence of a certificate of compliance for anything they are going to work on, if one can't be located then they have to do additional inspection to make sure it is safe to carry out the work and find anything else that is required to be brought up to code and certified along with the work they are doing.

 

Copies of certificates of compliance are required to be left where the work was carried out i.e. In the mains distribution box.

Copies of all certificates are held with the department here too, so even if you can;t find evidence at the house, should there be a problem of any description and the department doesn't have a lodgement for works carried out the home owner is in deep shit.  Should they prove an electrician did the work then the electrician is in deep shit.  As a result we have very few dodgy electricians.
