ECA and ESC announce major partnership

[NICEIC ENGINEER]

As announced yesterday the ECA and ESC have formed a new partnership for the good of the industry.

From April next year the NICEIC and ELECSA brands will be operated by a new venture called Certsure giving the industry a stronger voice to government and major stakeholders.

The move will bring many benefits to NICEIC and ELECSA registrants, the first of which is the creation of www.electricalsafetyregister.com a definitive searchable database of more than 30 000 registered electricians.

As part of our policy to be open and informative about the merger we have set up this thread for anyone to ask any questions or queries they might have.

A member of the NICEIC team will monitor the site at various points over the next week and provide answers to any questions you might have about the move.

We want you to get involved and look forward to hearing from you.

Think NIC are trying to become the scam of all scams, at least NAPIT can claim the high ground by being all inclusive.

Well anyone can register a domain - e.g. electricsafe.biz

Think NIC are trying to become the scam of all scams,

They've been trying that for years, along with setting their own regulations and requirements.

I had one of those "bright light" a few minutes about this farce with the registers, and I think that its all a mess due to the fact that all the decisions are being made by Techies who think they know best.

Techies should never do anything other than be techies.

They don't live in the real word thats for sure.

Time the ivory towers were pulled down.

So, in the controversy about which came first, lets look at the domain name registers... mmm, it seems that NAPIT registered theirs in 2009, and NIC registered theirs in 2012 - that tells a story I think.

After all the comments here, and the 2013 Part P document being released all I can say to the above statement "what a load of bxllxcks"

Its not for the good of the industry, its self preservation for the schemes.

With the relaxing of the rules and SO MANY ignoring them, with NO PENALTIES, consolidation of the schemes is likely.

So if you WERE interested in the "industry" why don't you actually do something about all the people that ignore the rules????????????

A deafening silence will follow, no doubt.

I wonder what new and marvellous plans and incentives they will come up with when membership numbers start dropping? Unless something changes dramatically in the next few months I for one won't be bothering with £500:00 a year for a sticker.

An old crisp packet and an odd sock.

Find anything?

A label on it reading "Property of NICEIC. If found please return."

You can have mine.

It's knackered though - even a double dose of ------ has no effect on it now.
