Trade Accreditations
Listed below are the Trade Associations that we are members of, along with an explanation of why this is important to both your business and choice of electrical contractor.
Electrical Contractors Association (ECA)
The Electrical Contractors Association, representing the best in electrical engineering and building services.
The Association is dedicated to maintaining and improving industry standards by discussion and representation, and its dedication to best practice and efficient, effective and safe working procedures ensures members deliver the very best service across a broad spectrum of commissions.
The ECA seeks to promote and protect the interests of professional, competent and accountable businesses, and to support this provides a wide range of services covering the whole spectrum of its members commercial operations.
National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting (NICEIC)
The National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting (NICEIC) is an independent, charitable body that offers a voluntary regulatory service covering the UK. The NICEIC was created to ensure that consumers are protected from “unsafe and unsound electrical work.”
The NICEIC is a non-profit organisation and not a trade association, and therefore does not work in favour of the electrical contractors but as an independent regulatory system.
In order to provide a source in which to find safe and reliable electrical contactors, the NICEIC holds a Roll of Approved Contractors that undergoes a yearly assessment. Their work is checked against the IEE Wiring Regulations BS 7671 as well as other standards.
