I was wondering if anyone is in the same position as myself with regard to NICEIC defined approval.

I am based in northern Ireland and I only wish to undertake in initial verification and periodic inspections.

Has anyone got experience in the assessment process for this scope?

Cheers

Some years ago i was associated with a company that did inspection and test only.
The niceic wouldnt take them on as they didnt install anything.
Maybe its different now? (£££)

NAPIT (The National Association of Professional Inspectors and Testers) may be more appropriate for your business model.

Still think that is the case M8, I mean they couldn't send an engineer around could they to inspect you are complying with the regs if you don't install.
 
I have no idea if you can, but you can be sure if you were to phone them up and talk to them they will be able to help you.
 
Look at GasElec Franchise. They are test and inspection only and they are NICEIC AC.
 
I know that they do permit it. Presumably the assessment centres around inspection and testing work only. Napit is pointless in the north of Ireland - no-one has heard of it and I think there is only one member.
 
Corrected that for you :D
Well at least on a NAPIT registered firm everyone is assessed unlike the flawed NICEIC QS system which assess one and the others who actually carry the work out go unchecked.
 
I was at Elex yesterday,various representatives from the schemes were falling over each other to try and explain how they will "incorporate" the t&i into their fees,sorry,i mean rules...two gentlemen from one large popular scheme,didn't agree on how it should be set up,but both said it would probably require paying for...could have knocked me down with a feather,LOL
 
Apologies for going off track but are there any disadvantages/advantages to joining any of the schemes run by various companies e.g. NAPIT, NICEIC, ELECSA
 
No one has pointed out to that you do not repeat not need to be, or have to be, a member of any scheme to do testing and inspection!

you need insurance (especially public indemnity), you need to be competent, you need calibrated equipment.


Thats it
