The Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering (CIPHE) is the professional and technical body for the UK plumbing and heating industry. It is a registered educational charity, which promotes high standards of plumbing and heating engineering to the public and those within the industry.

As the professional body for the Industry, the CIPHE aims to raise standards. We liaise with government groups, contribute to consultation documents and sit on many industry working groups and panels. The Institute chairs the Minimum Technical Competency Group and Competent Persons Forum.
