Which Electrical Body Are You With?

[Sintra]

Well guys and girls, let's see who you are registered with.

Elecsa/NICEIC rang me yesterday, offering me to 'upgrade deal' from Elecsa approved contractor to NICEIC approved contractor, leaving a message on my answerphone. As I predominately deal with Mrs Miggans, I see no financial benefit in this deal.

However, I might ring them up and say as your offering that as a deal at no extra cost, why not offer me a discount on my Elecsa approved contractor fees, as you obviously see the Elecsa brand as less attractive than NICEIC?

What do ya think?

I've heard of people going Napit then moving afterwards to NICEIC !
I just want to get registered in a cost effective way for a sole trader. Mate came to site meet this morning to look at signing off for me / testing, and said he swapped to NICEIC under domestic installer but when assessor came last visit he told him that he is doing MoD work, office blocks, industrial, commercial all of it and the guy just said that's fine ! Surely there is a problem there ? insurance wise too ? or can I just pay D.I. rate and do full scope ??

I wish Murdoch but spoke to LABC today and they only accept NAPIT OR NICEIC !

LABC do not get to choose. They must accept notifications from any DCLG approved Competent Person Scheme.

Do you think that would apply anywhere in UK then Taylor ? as in Jersey we get a lot of funny handshakes with these kind of authorities !

 

[Taylortwocities]

England and Wales, I believe.

Other colonies have their own arangements.

I'll call them again tomorrow then as they can't really argue it, last time my friends company who are NIC sent the notification to them, so if that's all they need then that should be fine. I want to get sorted but it's so expensive otherwise.

This is the link I had from the dept / LABC today so looks to me like if scheme provider is to certain ISO or UKAS standards then any body must be o.k. to be registered to ? https://www.gov.je/SiteCollectionDo...ye-laws2014 Approved Schemes 201401002 mm.pdf

I didn't know you were in Jersey. May be different rules there.
It might be helpful if you change your location in your profile. It just says UK at the moment.

 

[Midwest]

Looking at Jersey Bye-Laws link, being a scheme member of Napit or Certsure is the way to go. They can install/certify everything from electrics to double glazing
