Crafts Code

In short: The Crafts Code (HwO) governs the practice, training and organisation of the skilled crafts.

In more detail: It defines which professions belong to the crafts, who may become self-employed (master craftsman requirement in certain trades) and how the chambers of crafts are structured.

In Depth

For training it supplements the BBiG. See dual training.
