NICEIC INFORMATIONWhat is the NICEIC?The National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting (NICEIC) is the independent consumer safety regulatory body for the electrical contracting industry. Its sole purpose is to protect users of electricity against unsafe and unsound electrical installations. How does it do this?The Niceic maintains a register (Roll) of electrical contractors it has approved. NICEIC Approved Contractors are inspected annually to check that they meet the Council's safety standards. By using an Approved Contractor you are assured that the work carried out is safe. Should I receive a certificate or report for electrical work carried out by an Approved Contractor?Yes. The National Electrical Safety Standard (British Standard 7671 - the IEE Wiring Regulations) requires that an appropriate certificate or report be issued on completion of all electrical work, including the inspection of existing installations. Is there an NICEIC complaints procedure?Yes. If a customer and an Approved Contractor are unable to resolve a dispute about an alleged deficiency in the technical standard of electrical work, a complaint may be registered with the NICEIC by the customer. Where a complaint is substantiated, the deficiency is rectified at no additional cost to the customer. How do I find an NICEIC Approved Contractor?Approved Contractors display the NICEIC Certification Mark in their advertisements in Yellow Pages, Thomson Directories and local newspapers etc, and on their stationery and vehicles. A list of Approved Contractors may be obtained from the NICEIC, or by visiting the NICEIC website at: www.niceic.org.uk, which includes further information about electrical safety and how the NICEIC can help you.
