Electrical Inspection and Licensing


The Board of Electrical Examiners is responsible for the administration of Arkansas' laws governing the licensing of electricians. The following classes of license are available: master electrician, journeyman electrician, residential master electrician, residential journeyman electrician, air conditioning electrician, and industrial maintenance electrician. The board is also responsible for registering electrical apprentices.

Additionally, the board establishes standards for the performance of electrical work in the state.

The Director of Code Enforcement has the responsibility of enforcing these laws.
