NICEIC

The National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting (NICEIC) is the industry's independent, non profit-making, voluntary regulatory body covering the whole of the United Kingdom.

The NICEIC's sole purpose is to protect consumers from unsafe and unsound electrical work.

They are not a trade association and do not represent the interests of electrical contractors.

Set up 50 years ago, the NICEIC maintains a Roll of Approved Contractors that are assessed every year to check that their work meets the national safety standard BS 7671 (the IEE Wiring Regulations) and other relevant technical standards.

The NICEIC employs more than 60 Area Engineers, who make annual visits to Approved Contractors to assess their technical capability and inspect samples of their electrical work.
