Accreditations & Approved Installers

Building services engineering touches systems that affect life safety, energy use and the long-term performance of a building — electrical installations, gas and heating systems, fire alarms, and more. Because of this, a range of certification and competent-person schemes exist across the UK to give clients, building owners and regulators confidence that work has been carried out to a recognised standard.

These schemes generally work by assessing a contractor's technical competence, quality management and health and safety practice, either through independent audit, examination, or ongoing monitoring of completed work. Passing that assessment allows a contractor to self-certify certain categories of work as complying with building regulations, without requiring separate inspection by a local authority building control body.
