Assessment process

The two installations you provide for your site assessment must be:

• Electrical works in accordance with Part P of the Building Regulations
• Works completed within the last twelve months by your organisation (work completed by your business on your own, relatives or friends property is also acceptable)
• Fully installed, inspected, tested and certificated
• Within thirty minutes travelling distance of each other

Application Review Process

Once we have received your request to commence the application process, we will issue an invoice and confirm a date for the site assessment visit in writing.

Please do not delay providing details of your completed works; if your business does not achieve registration within the 12 month period, a new application, together with a new fee will be required.

Your business is not registered with the scheme until the full assessment process is successfully completed and confirmation of registration is received by NICEIC Head Office.

Site Assessment

The site assessment will normally last half a day. It is a very important you are fully prepared to enable the visit to go as smoothly as possible. Your company representative (Qualified Supervisor) will be expected to ensure access to each installation and to accompany our assessor throughout the assessment visit. Please contact us without delay if the proposed date in inconvenient. Late cancellations of a booked assessment are likely to incur an additional fee.

On site, the NICEIC assessor will expect your representative to demonstrate the correct use of test instruments and to interpret the test results. At the end of the visit our engineer will provide a completed 'Visit Summary and Recommendation' form, confirming whether registration of your business is to be recommended. The final registration decision rests with NICEIC Head Office. If a further assessment is necessary, this will be subject to an additional fee.
