NAPIT was formed in 1992 as the National Association for Professional Inspectors and Testers, with the aim of setting standards for industry. Since then NAPIT's role has evolved and expanded to be one of the fastest growing Government Approved register holders for Part P Registered Domestic Electrical Installers (both full and defined scope) while continuing to serve the needs of those carrying out equipment testing and electrical installation and testing in commercial and industrial sectors. Changes to the Building Regulations (Parts F, G, H, J, and L in England and Wales) meant many electrical, plumbing, heating and ventilation contractors were finding they needed to notify work across several disciplines. In the past this has meant having to join several different Competent Persons Schemes to be able to self certify and notify work. However in April 2006 NAPIT was successful in being awarded additional licences by Government that allowed it to expand its range of Schemes to include plumbing, heating and ventilation and introduced the 'Complete Solution'. Meaning NAPIT registered businesses only have to join one organisation, with one membership fee, one assessment fee and one notification fee. Now in its 15th year NAPIT continues to grow, whilst still maintaining the ethos of the trade association, it is now complemented by: NAPIT Training and its network of training and assessment centres. NAPIT Inspection, an internal and external inspectorate. NAPIT Certification, a standard setting and monitoring body. NAPIT Registration, the holder of the registers of competent individuals. NAPIT Services, the administration behind the scenes.
