INITA (Independent National Inspection & Testing Association) is a professional trade association representing Independent Engineering Examination and Testing companies (operating outside of the main-stream Engineering Insurance Market). The focus is the provision of statutory compliance, periodic inspection & testing of engineering plant & equipment, usually required in support of our client’s commercial insurance contracts for example – Lifting Equipment – subject to LOLER Regulations, Pressure Systems – subject to PSSR Regulations, and Local Exhaust Ventilation – subject to CoSHH Regulations. INITA members also provide a range of engineering consultancy services to Industry, Insurance Companies and Solicitors, such as: Expert Witness, Accident Investigation resulting from plant failure, Metallurgy, Proof Load Testing and Prior to Purchase Valuation & Inspection. INITA members derive their professional reputation and credibility by maintaining a strict independence and impartiality with respect to the inspection and testing services they provide. INITA members do not install, maintain, repair, or refurbish any of the engineering plant & equipment they examine or test. INITA was formed, and exists, to provide mutual support, technical information and training for our members. INITA seeks to promote higher standards of statutory compliance inspection & testing, and a greater consistency of approach in all of the areas in which our members operate.
