NICEIC is encouraging electricians to transfer for free from their current scheme provider to NICEIC’s Domestic Installer Scheme (DIS).
NICEIC’s Domestic Installer Scheme registers installers to Full Scope or Defined Competence for domestic electrical installation work in accordance with Part P of the Building Regulations.
Paul Collins, of NICEIC, said: “NICEIC is the UK’s leading voluntary regulatory body for the electrical contracting industry and a name recognised by householders.
“NICEIC regularly promotes the importance of employing a NICEIC registered contractor to homeowners and runs several campaigns throughout the year which help promote our brand and helps our contractors win more jobs.”
Electricians registered with NICEIC are assessed on a regular basis to ensure the quality and standard of their work conforms to the IET Wiring Regulations BS 7671 and Approved Document P as well as other relevant standards. Once registered with the NICEIC, contractors can also access a range of support services, including technical advice; industry recognised training, industry literature and contractor insurance.
The free transfer service is quick and straightforward. Simply log on to the NICEIC website at www.niceic.com/contractor/join-niceic or call 0870 013 0458.
Electricians will need a copy of their registration with a current scheme provider, a copy of their most recent assessment report, and confirmation of public liability insurance (up to £2 million) as well as evidence of relevant qualifications.
