The National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting or NICEIC is one (of a number of organisations) which regulates the training and work of electrical enterprises in the UK. The NICEIC is one of only a few providers given Government approval to offer Competent Person Schemes to oversee electrical work within the electrical industry. The NICEIC is a privately-owned body (the owner being the Electrical Safety Council, a Registered Charity) and not a Government organisation, as often incorrectly assumed.
History
From 1923, an earlier organisation, the National Register of Electrical Installation Contractors, kept a register of approved electricians.
Regulation
Electrical contractors register with the organisation to become approved contractors, meeting the NICEIC's specification of training. If work undertaken by the approved contractor is not up-to-standard, the NICEIC will correct it if necessary. Work is checked by fifty four local Area Engineers. Many local authorities only give work to NICEIC-approved electricians.
To be an approved contractor, the electrician must:
- Ensure work is carried out to BS7671; the IET Wiring Regulations.
- Certification is issued on completion of installation work as directed by BS 7671
- Has up-to-date copies of BS 7671
- Has competence with test instruments as outlined by Section 6 ("Inspection and Testing") of BS 7671; the IET Wiring Regulations
- Has public liability insurance of at least £2m.
