The NICEIC

The NICEIC - (National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting) is an independent consumer safety body set up to protect users of electricity against the hazards of unsafe and unsound electrical installations. It is the industry's voluntary electrical safety regulatory body. It is not a trade association. The NICEIC Approved Contractor scheme has been accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) against the requirements of EN45011 - General requirements for bodies operating product certification systems.


The role of approved contractors

The NICEIC maintains a roll of Approved Contractors that have been assessed at competent in carrying out electrical work according to the requirements of BS 7671: Requirements for Electrical Installations (formerly the IEE Wiring Regulations). Approved Contractors must also comply with the electrical safety requirements of any other applicable British Standard Codes of Practice, such as those for fire alarms and emergency lighting.
