    Suppliers must be registered with the appropriate confederation or association related to the respective trades involved, eg: NICEIC or ECA. In addition suppliers must hold valid and current certification with an SSIP member scheme or have an OHSAS 18001 certificate from a UKAS accredited certification body and have been assessed for working with electrical services.
