NICEIC Approved Contractors are assessed to the highest standards covering all types of electrical installations.
The certified business has been assessed for the specific type of electrical work as listed below -
A scheme registering electrical contractors for Portable appliance testing (PAT).
A scheme to support those contractors working in high risk areas.
MCS Contractors have been certified and have been assessed as having procedures and the competence required to demonstrated compliance to renewable industry standards for the technologies detailed against registration.
The NICEIC Domestic Installer scheme covers contractors who do installation work in domestic properties. It is important to use a Domestic Installer to comply with the requirements of Part P.
Competent Person Scheme (CPS) registered installers have been certified and have been assessed as competent in their field, to self-certify certain types of building work as compliant with the requirements of the Building Regulations in England and Wales.
When considering having electrical installation work undertaken in your home and the work is subject to a building warrant you have a number of options available to you. One option is that you appoint an NICEIC Approved Certifier of Construction (ACC), to undertake the electrical work and issue a Certificate of Construction confirming compliance with building regulations. However, an equivalent option recognised by Local Authority verifiers is to appoint an NICEIC Approved Contractor and the verifier will accept the contractor’s BS7671 certificate as part of their verification processes.
