NICEIC Certification Scheme NICEIC 1st visit

[chris day]

I have a few jobs put together for my first visit.

I just want to see how you guys have played this in the past because 2 of my sample jobs are new circuits and DBs for friends which are notifiable .

I will be notifying building control through what will hopefully be my new NICEIC approved accreditation, its just very much chicken and egg to be honest and I dont want the inspector tearing me a new one over it.

The general way forward is to notify after registration. You have 28 days (I think) to notify a job after its completion. Call the NICEIC and ask their advice and which procedural route they would like to see.

ELESCA state 20 days?

Yep, that's to give them time to do their bit with building control. Part P asks for notification no more than 30 days (not 28 sorry) after the job completion.

Ok that's fine, they way things will work out I'll struggle to line up all three jobs with the NIC visit within that time frame.
Just phoned the NICEIC and they said they won't police your notification process.
All they want to see are some green bs7671 certs.
The jobs are for friends and family so part P will have to wait for a few more weeks.

Just make sure the certs are dated the day before your inspection......

Yes I could just adjust the date there would be no way they will find out

Realy you should have notified L.B.C. /3rd party for these jobs as you do not belong to a sceam (sorry scam) yet

I know i should but it seems like a massive ball ache which looks like it can be avoided, besides these are jobs for family so what i do in their houses is under there control.

If it was a paying customer i would feel differently and agree with your comment

Oh really what a load of b****y rubbish. Sorry, but this comes up time and again with guys doing their first assessment. Look, the schemes don't give a ----. When the guy comes to look at your work, he will not even broach the subject of "how you managed to notify it when you are not registered". It won't be mentioned, trust me. It is a catch 22 situation that everyone ignores. If necessary, like has been said, do it afterwards. Don't worry about it, focus on the other stuff, like how to remove the CU cover with a lock off device on the main switch. (Just joking). The Assessors live in the real world, unlike some people.

But their 'the computer's says no' kicks in after 20 days. So the OP has effectively only 20 days, unless he tells a little white lie

There is of course the delicate subject of the assessment fee, that the NIC would be rather eager to get their mitts on.

PS you failed to spot the spelling mistake, advise early to bed

you are right in the real world as long as it gets notified it is no good making anything of it as it is for family etc, and in practice this is what happends.I was puting the point the technically what is suposed to happen.I had to deal with a NICEIC assessor that everything was black and white and would of been on to this and would be asking the question ''as your not in any scheme how are you notifying ? I still make the point it should of gone down the path as gas safe is
