Construction Industry Council Approved Inspectors Statement of Operations

The Construction Industry Council (CIC) established the CIC Approved Inspectors Register (CICAIR) to maintain and operate the Approved Inspectors Register in accordance with the responsibilities entailed by CIC’s appointment as a designated body with effect from 1 July 1996.

CICAIR provides Individual and Corporate Applicants with a route to qualification as an Approved Inspector and, upon qualification, full Registration facilities.

The CICAIR assessment procedures were developed over the course of several years and involved the collaboration of experts drawn from across the membership of CIC and the Department of the Environment. The procedures were rigorously tested in a seven month pilot study which ran from June to December 1996. The operations of CICAIR are overseen and managed by a Management Board which has delegated powers from CIC. 

Note:
With effect from 1 July 1996, the Secretary of State for the Environment and the Secretary of State for Wales designated the Construction Industry Council under section 49 of the Building Act 1984 and regulation 4 of the Building (Approved Inspectors etc) Regulations 1985, for the purposes of approving persons as Inspectors for the purposes of Part ii of that Act.)

CLG are now responsible for the Building (Approved Inspectors etc) Regulations.
