[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 513703, member: 250"] The NICEIC is a trade body that it is not compulsory to be a member of.. Should you wish to be a member you have to pay annual fees and satisfy certain criteria they set out to allow you retain your membership.. BS7671, (wiring regulations), sets out various model forms and certificates that ALL electricians whether members of trades bodies or not should use as the basis for reporting on any work they do. Any qualified and competent electrician could produce their "own-brand" certificates and reports based around the BS7671 examples. Various Trades bodies, Test meter manufactures, Software houses, etc.. have produced and sell their own versions of the BS7671 reports for anyone eligible to use.. The NICEIC have produced their own range of electrical documentation which include their brand Logo on the top.. Only paid-up members are allowed to use NICEIC logoed documents.. The NICEIC have also produced their own range of electrical documentation which does NOT include their brand Logo on the top.. Anyone is allowed to buy and use these non-logoed documents.. Whatever form of documentation you choose to use, providing they all follow the framework of the BS7671 examples.. And that the person compiling the report/certificate is competent.. Then they are ALL perfectly valid.. As far as I understand it, the legal requirement for rental properties is that the landlord has to ensure a competent person has undertaken an EICR of the property.. And the NICEIC have jumped on this money bandwagon by creating additional membership levels (thus extra fees), for people to use their Logo'ed EICR's.. And then advertising it to the unsuspecting public as if it is the ONLY valid option for an EICR. Guinness [/QUOTE]
