In order for a contractor to be NICEIC Approved, there are a number of key criteria that must be met. The main requirements relate not only to the required training, but to ongoing professional development relating to requirements to remain up-to-date with the latest regulations for electrical work. One of the key requirements of NICEIC Approved contractors is to ensure that work is carried out in accordance with the latest standards for electrical work provided by the British Standards Institute. The standards followed in BS 7671 are also referred to as the IET Wiring Regulations.
Some other key criteria to be an NICEIC Approved contractor also relate to BS7671. This includes the requirement for contractors to work to the latest edition of BS 7671 as well as the requirement to issue certification that work is completed to the required standard once electrotechnical installation work is completed. These regulations help provide assurance for consumers that when working with electricians registered with the NICEIC, design, installation and maintenance work will comply with consistently high standards. Being fully approved also means the qualifying company is able to carry out FULL SCOPE electrical work in domestic and commercial settings.
When hiring an electrical contractor, understanding industry certifications is crucial to ensuring quality, compliance and safety. Two of the most recognized accreditations in the UK are the NICEIC Approved Contractor and the Domestic Installer schemes. But what do these mean, and why is it important to choose a company, like ElectriciansOnCall, that holds both?
An NICEIC Domestic Installer, as the name suggests, is a certification specifically for electricians working on residential properties. This accreditation allows electricians to carry out and certify work under Part P of the Building Regulations, ensuring that electrical work in homes is safe and legally compliant. At ElectriciansOnCall, we take pride in holding both Approved Contractor and Domestic Installer certifications. Here are some reasons why this matters when selecting an electrical service provider.
Companies with both accreditations can work on any electrical project, from small household jobs to large-scale commercial and industrial projects. This means no matter your needs, we have the expertise and approval to carry out the work safely and legally. Approved Contractors must meet more rigorous standards than Domestic Installers, undergoing comprehensive assessments that include commercial and industrial work. By choosing a company with both certifications, you ensure your project meets the highest safety and regulatory standards.

Their work is regularly assessed by a Government-approved Scheme Operator to ensure their ongoing competence, as well as all work meeting the correct standards.

Using an OZEV-registered company for electric vehicle (EV) charger installation is crucial for ensuring safety, compliance with UK regulations, and, most importantly, eligibility for government grants that significantly reduce installation costs. The installation of EV chargers must adhere to the latest British Standards for electrical installations (BS 7671). An OZEV-approved installer guarantees that all work meets these legal and safety codes, providing you with the necessary certification and documentation upon completion. Many EV charger manufacturers require installation by a qualified and certified professional to validate the product warranty. Using an OZEV-registered company ensures your warranty remains intact. By using an OZEV-registered company, you ensure a safe, compliant, and cost-effective installation, backed by government standards and potential financial incentives.
