Who is the NICEIC?

The National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting (NICEIC) is an independent consumer safety organization. A consumer-focused body, the NICEIC has been the electrical contracting industry's voluntary'regulatory body for electrical safety matters for more than 45 years. It is not a trade association.
The NICEIC is a non-profit making registered charity - an independent body that consumers can trust. Because the NICEIC offers unparalleled impartiality and an authoritative voice on all issues related to electrical installations, it's supported by all sectors of the electrical and construction industries as well as professional health and safety bodies. A number of Government Departments have observers on the National Inspection Board.

What is the NICEIC's mission?

Our aim is to protect everyone who uses electricity from unsafe electrical installations in their homes, places of work and leisure. The NIGEIC puts your safety first.

How does the NICEIC do this?

The NICEIC 'maintains a register (Roll) of electrical contractors that it has assessed as complying with the Council's rules. The assessment covers a representative sample of the contractors' electrical work, their premises and documentation, and the competence of their key supervisory staff. Once contractors become NICEIC Approved Electrical Contractors, they are re-assessed every year by one of the Council's 50 Area Engineers to confirm that their business and the technical standard of their electrical work continue to comply with the Council's rules.

Enrolment with the NICEIC is voluntary - however, electrical contractors that are competent and conscientious about the service they offer customers would consider it a priority to enrol.
