The only rule in Scotland is that work must comply with the IEE regs. Where
other work is being done which brings the job within the building warrant
process, a wiring certificate will be requested by the BCO. AFAIK there's no
requirement to obtain a building warrant for electrical work on its own.

*All* the Building Regulations apply only to E&W. Scotland has entirely
separate regulations, and the part numbering does not correspond.

Unfortunately, my understanding from the last Wiring Matters is that a
similar scheme is being considered for Scotland.
