Approved contractors undergo a rigorous assessment process covering a representative sample of their work, their premises, documentation, equipment and the competence of their key supervisory staff. They are then re-assessed on a regular basis to ensure continued compliance.

Once registered with the NICEIC, contractors can access a range of support services, including technical advice, industry recognised training, industry literature and contractor insurance.

NICEIC also provides certification and approval services for businesses and individuals across the heating, plumbing, renewable and insulation sectors.

NICEIC operates an independent complaints procedure governing the technical standards of its Approved Contractor and Part P Domestic Installer Schemes. If the work of a registered contractor is found to be below the accepted technical standard, NICEIC can require the contractor to correct the work at no additional cost to the customer.

Aside from the assurance of safety and competence of work, benefits to the consumer include protection against substandard work through the NICEIC Platinum Promise and access to an independent complaints procedure, should a problem arise.

The Code is backed by the Trading Standards Institute as part of its self-regulation initiative, the Consumer Codes Approval Scheme.
