Become an Inspector

The PIPA scheme is currently implementing a number of improvements. Part of those improvements is to develop new scheme rules, training and accreditation for Inspection Bodies wishing to apply for PIPA registration.

The changes, supported by the HSE, form part of an agreed three-year development plan for the PIPA scheme. We expect the work detailed above to be completed around the middle of 2020. Until then, PIPA will not be accepting any applications from Inspection Bodies.
