Good point Trumpy. The D-I-Y stores are full of cables, switches, sockets, breakers and you-name-it. But to the best of my knowledge, there is no how-to-guide in Swedish. There are books for the electrican's education, but not available to the general public.
"A little knowledge is a dangerous thing" In my humble opinion, people should not be allowed to buy materials unless they have a license. This of course would only work if there is a system with limited licenses, possible to obtain for D-I-Y'ers. A license would of course be required to carry out any electrical work.
Our present solution with licenses impossible to obtain unless you plan a career as an electrican (two or so years working as an apprentice under an electrician) is impossible to enforce.
Adding to the problem is that in days of old people had cars to play with. Now that you can't work on cars anymore, people turn to computers or home improvement instead. And the most technical part of home improvment is wiring...
