No one has pointed out to that you do not repeat not need to be, or have to be, a member of any scheme to do testing and inspection!

you need insurance (especially public indemnity), you need to be competant, you need calibrated equipment.


Thats it
Very true my friend, however we are all worn out because we have mentioned it 2,000,000 times now to the Electrical Trainee here lol
 
Well at least on a NAPIT registered firm everyone is assessed unlike the flawed NICEIC QS system which assess one and the others who actually carry the work out go unchecked.
what even the tea lady? regarding Crapit sorry Napit, I know of at least 2 firms who have not had an inspection in 2 years, very professional then, might as well just not bother, totally pointless really lol
 
Although there is no requirement as you have pointed out, some local councils in my area will not give you any work unless you are a member of one of these schemes. I have recently been looking in to Constructionline as well because that is also a prerequisite to being awarded any work and in order to register with them you need to again be a member of one of these bodies.

Depends what work you are looking for, but don't doubt what you are saying. I would venture to suggest there is some silly nonsense going on there!

I thought that's what the majority of fully qualified/experienced electricians wanted from these Scam Providers, ....Inspections every 3 to 5 years and NOT costly annual inspections??

To be honest, none of them are of any benefit to the industry, they are all getting rich out of solving a problem that was never there in the first place, in fact they have Caused an even bigger problem by their very existence

....Time to Kick them all into touch and be done with them!! lol!!
 
The failing Schemes are living on borrowed time, yes non assessment by NAPIT has been going on for years, you pay for assessment but you never get one for years, highly profitable. You should be very careful about your insurance, give them a call and check that it still valid, best to check direct with Hiscox to get a straight answer . It is more like a protection racket, join a Scheme or you have to pay LABC a fortune.

It IS a protection racket, a very lucrative racket it is too. Unfortunately the protection is paper based and paper thin. Alas you will only find that out, if or when something goes wrong. Suddenly it's nothing really to do with them and will do their level best, to keep the member and/or the members customer at arms length. Unless they are legally Forced into a corner, but often even then, it's more of a mediation role they want to play, rather than any effective decision making role!!
