National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting a register of approved electricians. It was incorporated on 10 August 1956, and since 1 October 2005, it has been registered as The Electrical Safety Council. Electrical contractors register with the organisation to become approved contractors, meeting the NICEIC's specification of training.

Most electrical items in domestic wiring are controlled from the consumer unit with its residual-current device (RCD), which since 2001 has to be installed.
