The UK-PHMES CSCS Registration Card Scheme

The CSCS Site Safety Card for the Plumbing Industry.

With effect from 2nd February 2009 the Joint Industry Boards for the Plumbing Industry in England & Wales
(JIB-PMES) and for Scotland & Northern Ireland (SNIJIB) have established the UK Plumbing Heating & Mechanical Engineering Services (UK-PHMES) Registration Scheme..

The new Joint Scheme continues to be affiliated to the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS).

The objectives and advantages of the new JOINT UK-PHMES Registration Scheme are to:

  • Standardise Plumbing CSCS Registration Cards in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and use a common design.
  • Create a common and mutually recognised Grading Structure, based on NVQS/SVQS, as part of the Registration process with “Plumber” as the basic Grade.
  • Promote awareness of Health & Safety in the industry, applying testing where necessary, so that PHMES operatives will always endeavour to undertake their duties in a competent and safe manner.
Existing JIB-PMES Registration cards remain valid
The existing JIB-PMES/CSCS cards will still remain valid until their expiry date
Existing card holders may, if they choose, exchange and replace their current card for a new Joint UK Scheme Card at a cost of £5.00. To obtain a new style card, simply complete the application form. Click here for details
