German Electrical Installations

[Gel]

I recall that DIY'ers are verboten from working on mains cabling in Germany; is that still the case & you need to be a Registered Electrician??

What is the common diameter of wiring used in their domestic electrical sockets; we want to know if UK Optical Smoke alarms with built in Terminal Blocks, will be adequate; may be a problem if they use thicker than 2.5mm.

Thanks

In Germany anything which is not compulsory is prohibited.
