Thanks Bob, I will make sure that the electrical systems are not in the same pictures as the Tulips.

Take a small screwdriver. Open boxes, receptacles, etc. Photo industrial control panels- including the switch on the machine. Visit a construction site.
Here's what too look for: - Trenches chiseled in masonry to run smurf tube; - Smurf tube ending near/ within round plastic boxes, without use of connector; - "wedge" clamps on devices that are supposed to engage inside of box when attachemnt screw is tightened; - "choc blocks" rather than wire nuts; - different wire colors; - three phase power to residences; - Industrial control panels that have entire front covers of thick clear plastic, with small hand-hole to access items often re-set, etc.; and, - machines with switches with three marks...a "O", a "Y", and a triangle. have someone explain the meaning.
You might want to take a rock with you...since Holland is built on swamp/ sea bed/ mud, most may never have seen one before :-)

Joe Since you are going to take pictures anyway Try to see what the differences are from there to here. I would be more interested in that than violations. Lighting Devices Wiring methods See if you can talk to an inspector and find out what their procedures may be.

Joe, We actually have a Member here from the Netherlands, Arend. For a wee bit of a primer before you go, here is a link to some pictures of Dutch metering and switchboard work. Happy travels.

Someone told me he found an old light bulb in a train station in Europe. From Edison's era. He went to unscrew it to "borrow" it and all the lights in the station went out.
Take pictures of good installations as well as the bad.
