In some places in the US you need a "low voltage licence" to install "low voltage wiring" but I can't seem to find anything that says if this includes network wiring.

(I know this will differ from place to place so please state where you are referring to.)

  • Does the law say you need a licence?
  • Does anyone pay attention to it?
  • Are their any exception you known of?
  • How sure are you of your information?
  • Got any links?


"Me specific" parts of the question.

p.s. I'm looking for info on Idaho, USA but answerers for anywhere welcome.

edit: I have some formal training in this and am completely confident that I can do it safely and correctly. However the training was pre-2008 befor Idaho switched to the national building code.
