At NECIT Services Ltd, the mission underpinning our engineering inspection services is simple, uncompromising, and deeply personal:
“When what’s built must not fail.”
This is not a slogan. It is the reason we exist.
Every weld, every test, every inspection, and every certificate we issue sits somewhere in a real structure: a train carrying passengers, a power station producing energy, a bridge supporting traffic, a pressure system containing risk. If assurance is wrong, people, projects, and reputations suffer.
We founded NECIT to solve a problem we saw repeatedly across the industry: compliance without understanding, inspection without competency or engineering insight, testing without validation, and certification without true accountability.
In safety-critical industries, paperwork can look impressive while risk quietly remains.
Procedures are copied. Qualifications are rushed. Reports are produced by people who don’t fully understand the welding, the materials, or the consequences of getting it wrong. That gap between looking compliant and being correct is where failures are born.
NECIT was built to close that gap.
Our WHY is rooted in one belief, that the quality of any engineering inspection service is not an administrative exercise. It is an engineering responsibility.
As a UKAS-accredited Type A body to ISO/IEC 17020 and a Personnel Certification Body to ISO/IEC 17024, we operate independently, without compromise or commercial influence over technical judgement.
But accreditation is only the framework.
Our mission is delivered through engineering depth in:
We do not simply check, we understand.
Welding is often the least visible part of a structure, but the most critical. NDT is often seen as a tick-box, when in reality it is the final defence between integrity and failure.
When welding and testing are treated as paperwork exercises, defects pass through systems unnoticed.
When they are treated as engineering disciplines, risk is controlled at its source.This is where NECIT operates.
As a true third party, NECIT has no interest in speeding jobs through, overlooking issues, or diluting standards to suit programme pressure.
Our duty is not to convenience – our duty is to integrity and compliance.
That independence is why global clients trust NECIT to provide engineering inspection services on complex rail, power generation, nuclear, fabrication, oil, gas and infrastructure projects across more than 90 countries, with our work ultimately honoured with the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade.
Our mission shows itself in the details:
We are often brought in when something has gone wrong. Our goal is to be involved early enough that it never does.
Clients do not come to NECIT just because they need a certificate. They come to NECIT because they need confidence.
Confidence that:
Everything we do, every service, every person we certify, every person we deploy, every decision we make, is guided by our mission:
When what’s built must not fail.
Because in the industries we serve, failure is never just a defect. It is a consequence – and preventing that consequence is why NECIT exists.
