to join the NICEIC you have to prove that you meet their minimum
requirements as regards qualifications, 16th edition, testing and
inspecting, and either the city and guilds course or equivolent and provable
experiance. along with £2miliion in public liability insurance. and be
confident in your workmanship to allow an annual inspection of your work

Sorry to be a killjoy but

the most important piece of equipment in your toolbox has got to be
NICEIC
&
ECA registration and qualifications otherwise one mishap and you could
be
looking at compensation claim you'll never ever afford

Think you'll find public liability insurance more use there - niccy and
eca
registration are more of an old boys club. Don't think they have
qualifications as such, acceptance is on inspecton of previous work and
the
paying of fees (suprise, suprise!). IEE or C&G 16th edition, Inspection
and
testing and electrical installation courses would be more valuable.

Membership of either trade association ain't gonna save your skin if
you've
been negligent.
