NICEIC

The National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting is the industry's independent, non profit making voluntary regulatory body covering the whole of the United Kingdom.  The NICEIC's sole purpose is to protect consumers from unsafe and unsound electrical work.

Set up more than 45 years ago, the NICEIC maintains a Roll of Approved Contractors that are inspected every year to check that their work meets the national safety standard BS7671 (the IEE Wiring Regulations) and other relevant technical standards.

Guarantee of Standards

The NICEIC offers a Guarantee of Standards, the purpose of which is to:

-   Further the aims of the NICEIC in protecting electricity    
    consumers, including the general public.

-   To ensure that the Local Authorities, commercial organisations 
    and specifiers the use NICEIC Approved Contractors are
    guaranteed a high standard of electrical installation work.

-   To extend the scope of the NICEIC Complaints Procedure, where the Approved
    Contractor fails to undertake remedial work essential to safety.

-   To enable Approved Contractors who tender for contracts to publicise the
    fact that they are not only approved by the NICEIC but that the standard
    of their electrical work is also guaranteed.
