INTRODUCTION
This certification scheme covers the certification of competence for personnel engaged in
Electrical Services as per the Abu Dhabi Occupational Terms for Assistant Electrical Engineer
(ADOT 94).
The Assistant Electrical Engineer Certification Scheme was developed through consultation
with industry, government entities and regulators such as the National Qualification Centre, the
Abu Dhabi Distribution Company, and the Al Ain Distribution Company. It enables individuals
and firms offering electrical services to sectors such as Construction, Energy transmission,
Electrical Works (internal wiring) & Maintenance, to obtain voluntary certification of personnel
that meet the Abu Dhabi requirements.
The QCC in its capacity as a conformity assessment body provides third-party conformity
assessment to applicants for certification. This document is designed to provide comprehensive
information for users of the Certification Scheme.
Certification is dependent on the successful completion of formal examination at Examination

Certificate of Conformity enables service providers to present evidence of meeting the
standards appropriate for Abu Dhabi as specified for Abu Dhabi Occupational Terms (ADOT).
