Realising the benefits of commissioning the IET to provide Codes and Guidance in your area

Increased productivity, reduced costs and enhanced innovation are just some of the benefits realised from effective Codes of Practice and Guidance.

Sponsoring or commissioning a Code of Practice or Industry Guide with the IET offers your organisation the opportunity to become known throughout your industry as a thought leader and expert in your field.

You can be responsible for leading the way in setting standards for new technologies, saving lives through comprehensive safety guidance, or by being the first to roll out game-changing industry solutions.

Our expertise in creating Codes of Practice and key industry guidance puts us in a great position to manage your project from start to finish. We even help to ensure the final publication reaches and influences your target audiences by way of our membership of over 150,000 engineers.

Work with us to create a Code or Guide and you can:

  • Promote your brand alongside the largest professional engineering institution in Europe
  • Demonstrate your leadership in your industry, differentiating yourself from your competitors
  • Work with your peers to solve specific issues for your industry in a trusted, impartial and facilitated process
  • Make new contacts and business relationships
  • Encourage take-up of a new product or idea by illustrating its capabilities and applications.

Don’t just take our word for it!

What our clients say

“The organisation and project management for the two lighting standards we worked on was effective, inclusive and timely and the results are well written, comprehensive and accessible documents.”

Gareth Pritchard, BTech (Hons) CEng FILP MIET TechIOSH, HEA Chief Executive

“The IET and their staff have shown excellent governance and support skills in developing the Recommendation for Energy Efficient External Lighting Systems guidance document.

As sponsors and part funders, the Scottish Futures Trust have been delighted in the positive feedback which it has received and how this best practice guidance has accelerated the implementation of energy-efficient lighting projects. The sponsorship funding has delivered on real value for money and provided the much-needed guidance which previously was unavailable.”
