The Ugly Facts About Electrical Installation Tester

Why You Should Join a NICEIC Domestic Installer

A competent person scheme is a good option for electricians who work mostly in homes. These schemes are run by trade associations like NICEIC or NAPIT and are designed for electricians who perform limited electrical work.

Building Regulations

The building regulations are a statutory requirement for all electrical work done within the home, including new installations and extensions. Since 2005 all new electrical work in homes must be able to meet the strict safety standards to avoid burns and injuries caused by electric shocks or burns.

To do the task correctly electricians must be well-trained and knowledgeable in the correct procedure for completing these tasks. They must also know how to comply with the Building Regulations and the IEE Wiring Regulations.

NICEIC has created a range of schemes to allow electrical contractors to self-certify their work to meet the building regulations requirements. By enrolling in one of these schemes, electrical contractors will save you time and money while carrying out work that requires notification in accordance with the building regulations.

You should search for a NICEIC domestic installer that is registered with the competent persons scheme. These schemes were endorsed by the government to test contractors to a common standard.

These programs are designed to assist homeowners in finding an electrical contractor who is knowledgeable of building regulations and can give an accurate estimate. Furthermore, NICEIC approved contractors are required to undergo periodic assessments to ensure they stay current with the most recent requirements and maintain their high standards of work.

A NICEIC Part P certified domestic installator has another advantage: they can self-certify their work to local authorities. A customer can receive an Building Regulations Compliance Certificate* within 30 days after work is completed. This eliminates the requirement to have the work reviewed by the local building control.

In addition, NICEIC domestic electrical installers are able to provide an insurance-backed warranty. This covers electrical installation that is not subject to building control (as long as it was done by an NICEIC domestic installer) and in the event that the NICEIC domestic installer ceases to be in business due to any reason, another NICEIC domestic installer can take on repairs at no cost to the customer.

Insurance

NICEIC Approved Contractors are required to adhere to a certain safety and technical standard when they perform domestic installation work. If they do not comply with this requirement, the NICEIC will rectify the work, without cost to the customer.

NICEIC also offers a Guarantee of Standard Scheme which protects customers against any deficiencies in electrical work they been provided by Approved Contractors. This means that if a contractor is found to have carried out electrical installation work that was not to the accepted technical standard, the client can file an official complaint and NICEIC will provide a resolution to the issue.

NICEIC also offers a variety of insurance policies that can be added to your policy. This includes insurance for the theft of tools which is among the most common concerns for electricians. This should be considered before purchasing your policy. It could be very expensive to replace the tools you use daily.

The NICEIC Approved Contractors scheme is a national program that covers the development, construction and commissioning low voltage electrical installations in accordance to BS 771 in England or Wales. It is a perfect way electrical contractors can demonstrate their ability to deliver safe and quality electrical work.

Local authorities typically have a policy that restricts the work they accept from unregistered electrical contractors. This is due to the fact that the likelihood of faulty installation and failures is substantially more likely with unregistered companies and that’s why it is recommended to use only NICEIC approved contractors.

NICEIC also has an independent complaints procedure that governs the standards of electrical installation work that Approved Installers and Approved Contractors do. Approved Domestic Installers and Contractors are required to correct any defect in their electrical work if they fall below acceptable technical standards. This is backed by the NICEIC Guarantee Of Standards Scheme, which guarantees that any remedial work is not charged to the consumer.
