Just qualified last Monday and I have completed both initial and periodic test and inspection courses. What is the process for joining the niceic if you have never been part of a part p scheme before, as I have only ever worked for companies who signed off all works, I have never signed...
Talked to the tech line the other day hoping to confirm what I already knew, but with a definite answer regarding issues on EICR, on a property 40+ years old.
Not a great experience I must say, putting all the onus back on me, What do you think you should do?
At the end I gave a very...
Hi all

DB not connected directly to the main supply.
The confusing bit, characteristics at this DB, is this still related to the Distribution circuit.

Hi All,
I recently had my NICEIC renewal assessment.
We are a two man band. We only carry out small local work and we are approved contractors & domestic installers.

The freelance assessor they sent...
Hi all,

I'm a little nervous about it but am confident my paperwork and...
Honestly... I speechless at this story.
The NICEIC have just washed their hands of a valid complaint.
Ever heard of a new build property with 7x C2's, 5x C3's and 6x FI's?
I own one.
2x electricians (both Napit and NICEIC) said major problems including C2's.
EICR produced with pictures -...
