Thanks pete thats good to know

As far as i am able to tell it seems that if i went back a couple of sets of regulations in the uk i would be at about the level of current spanish electrical regulations, other than that its is superficial stuff like outlets and fittings being different.

Since the new change here in the uk from a "red yellow blue" to a "brown black grey" three phase system about 2 years ago to bring us in line with the rest of europe it seems there is virtually no difference other than the uk are a little stricter on the installation side of things.

I still cant get anything concrete as to if i would need to have my qualifications verified as yet but i have a couple of years yet to find out the answers and will post here what i find out
