7 Small Changes You Can Make That'll Make A Huge Difference In Your Electrical Installation Tester

Why You Should Join a NICEIC Domestic Installer

A competent person scheme is a suitable option for electricians working mostly in homes. These schemes are operated by trade associations such as NICEIC or NAPIT and are designed specifically for electricians that do limited electrical work.

Building Regulations

The building regulations are a mandatory requirement for any electrical work that is carried out in the home, which includes extensions and new installations. Since 2005 all new electrical work in dwellings must be able to meet the strict safety standards to avoid injury and fires caused by electric shocks or burns.

To perform this work correctly electricians must be skilled and trained in the proper procedures. They must also be familiar with the Building Regulations as well as the IEE Wiring Regulations.

NICEIC has developed a number of schemes that permit electrical contractors to self-certify their work is in compliance with the requirements of building regulations. By signing up to one of these schemes, electrical contractors can save time and money when carrying out work which requires notification under building regulations.

As homeowner, you need to look for a NICEIC domestic installer who is registered with a competent person scheme. These schemes were endorsed by the government to test contractors against a standard.

These plans are designed to help homeowners locate an electrical contractor who is educated about building regulations and who can offer a reliable estimate. Contractors who are approved by NICEIC must undergo regular tests to ensure they're up-to date on the latest requirements and maintain high standards of quality workmanship.

Another benefit of having a NICEIC Part P certified domestic installer is that they are able to self-certify their work to the local authority. This means that a customer is able to obtain a Building Regulations Compliance Certificate* within 30 days of completion of the work, reducing the need for an extensive inspection by the local building control.

Additionally, NICEIC domestic electrical installers are able to offer an insurance-backed guarantee. This applies to any electrical installation work that is subject to building control (as the work was performed by an NICEIC domestic installer) and if the NICEIC domestic installer is no longer in business for any reason, another NICEIC domestic installer can take on the work in a way that is free to the customer.

Insurance

NICEIC Approved Contractors and Domestic Installers are required by law to complete work according in accordance with a certain safety and technical standard. The NICEIC will correct any work that is not in accordance with this standard at no cost to customers.

NICEIC also offers a Guarantee of Standard Scheme which safeguards customers from any flaws in electrical work they completed by Approved Contractors. If the contractor domestic installer has performed electrical installations that are not in accordance with accepted technical standards, the customer can complain in a formal manner to NICEIC.

Additionally, NICEIC has a number of additional insurance policies that you can add to your policy. This includes protection against the theft of tools which is a major issue for electricians. It is worth checking this out prior to buying your policy as it could be very costly to replace the tools you employ on a daily basis.

The NICEIC Approved Contractors Scheme is a nationwide scheme that covers the design, installation and commissioning of low voltage electrical installations in accordance with BS 771 in England and Wales. It is an ideal way for electrical contractors to prove their capability to provide safe and high-quality electrical work.

Being registered with NICEIC and Elecsa is an excellent way to win more work because it shows your clients that you're committed to quality, safety and reliability. In fact, Certsure, which operates the NICEIC and Elecsa brands, recently revealed that more than 18000 companies have now been registered as Approved Contractors with NICEIC this is the most in its 59 year history!

Many local authorities have a policy of restricting the amount of work they accept from electrical companies that are not registered. Because they are aware that there is a higher risk of inadequate installations and failures with unregistered electrical contractors so it's a good option to avoid them.

NICEIC also has an independent complaints procedure that governs the technical standards of electrical installation work that Approved Contractors and Domestic Installers carry out. It requires Approved Contractors and Domestic Installers to correct any alleged deficiency in their electrical work, in the event that it falls below the acceptable technical standard. This is supported by the NICEIC Guarantee of Standards Scheme, which guarantees that any work done to correct the issue will not be billed to the consumer.
