CIPHE

What is the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering?

The Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering (CIPHE) was founded in 1906 and is the professional body for the plumbing and heating industry in the UK. The CIPHE is a voluntary register and currently has a membership of around 12,000.

The Purpose of the CIPHE

It's main aim is to protect the safety and health of the public and the protection of the environment by raising the standards of the plumbing and heating industry.

To help combat unqualified installers passing themselves off as plumbers and heating engineers the CIPHE vet members to ensure that they are qualified and competent to carry out plumbing and heating work.

Members also have to abide by a code of professional standards and are encouraged to update their skills through continuing professional development.
