Electricians in MOST of the US are also required to be tested and licensed. There are a few isolated areas that have no requirements.
I have heard of no one that is allowed to "certify" his own work to be safe and code compliant. Kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion. That's why we have inspectors, who are members of the International Association Of Electrical Inspectors. There are Canadian members, however I do not know if it is a requirement or not. I have been a card carrying member since 1982.
