I want to add 4 sockets in my home office. Can I legally do this myself, or does Dutch law require a certified electrician?

✓ Accepted answer

Legally in NL, homeowners may add sockets themselves but it must comply with NEN 1010. Insurance and mortgage conditions often require documented work by a registered (ISSO/Techniek NL certified) electrician. If you sell or have a fire, uncertified work can void insurance. Cost for 4 sockets is typically 180-320 EUR by a registered electrician with certificate.
