every body has there preference!!!

why not ring them up and decide your self... you may find a certain provider will be more than accomodating and flexible to your self.

p.s they all do same job any way!!

Don't do it for the sake of it. Prove the viability of needing an approval first, I'd say.

Each has its own merits and disadvantages, and all will involve extra expense and paperwork.

Commercially, the NIC probably has the recognition advantage, over the ECA, but the ECA is perceived as more "upmarket" or solid to some.

Elecsa and NAPIT are slightly different cases. And mostly relevant for inspection and testing and Part P work.

In the end, it's a matter for preference, what your business needs and can support, and what you're likely to gain from it.

Just to save confusion on the thread for outsiders!

Elecsa is Part of the ECA
