Ive never had any problems with the niceic, since going Approved contractor have got loads more commercial and insurance testing work too

never once been asked if i was napit registered

never once been asked if i was elecsa registered

always get asked if im niceic registered

get a fair bit of work passed onto me by sparks who aint niceic registered, but their client requires it so they have had to pass it on

Pay me fee and see them once a year and thats pretty much it! same as the others


Surely anyone with an ounce of business sense would see its a no brainer?!

maybe ive just been lucky?

Think alot of it depends what part of the country you're in welchy ...up around North Yorkshire, although the NIC are still prominent most are now with elecsa and it's probably just as well known now here.

Think I'm swaying towards Niceic as I want to do domestic, commercial and industrial. Any reasons to sway me otherwise?

I work in schools and for council sometimes local authority and for whatever reason they will only consider NIC approved in my area.

That's the same for schools and councils in most places for some reason. Schools accept elecsa around here (well some do) but for councils, i think nationwide they've had it engraved into there heads that the only way is NIC.

Surely elecsa is meant for house bashing isnt it? why would they be specified by a school?

There,s no doubt buddy your are right, but for some reason local authorities are loyal to the NICEIC and consider the other schemes amateure, I hope this will change soon as I would go with the cheapest and many others too I suspect, but the NICEIC seem to have won over the main men in the local councils and are in pole position, and have been for several years now.

Yes and you usually have to have your company details on the Alito Procurement website, or whatever they call themselves these days.

i understand what your sayin Mike....and as you i would always opt for the cheapest as far as the scams are concerned......i just dont think its right that the NIC are regarded as above all else....
anyway, i thought all this had been stopped?....

The niccy also are the leading electrical safety body for petrochem and hazardous areas, and they also have written a number of publications that offer support and help remove the ambiguity of the UK codes of practice.
