A new website has been launched to provide an authoritative source of information on the Electrotechnical Assessment Specification (EAS) and its role in supporting competence, safety, and quality across the electrotechnical sector.
The website, the-eas.co.uk, brings together the latest version of the EAS, the EAS Qualifications Guide, and supporting information for electrical enterprises, certification bodies, registration bodies, and other industry stakeholders.
The EAS sets out the minimum technical, competence, and safety requirements an enterprise must meet, in order to achieve and maintain recognition by a certification body or registration body as competent to undertake electrotechnical work. It also defines requirements for qualified supervisors, electrical inspectors, and individuals carrying out specified categories of work.
The launch comes at an important time for the sector as installations become increasingly complex. The growth of solar photovoltaic systems, electrical energy storage systems, electric vehicle charging points (EVCPs), and other low-carbon technologies, all continue to expand the range of work undertaken across the industry.
The website has been designed to help users:
- access the latest version of the EAS
- understand the requirements relevant to their area of work
- identify acceptable qualifications
- stay informed about developments and future updates.
By bringing key documents and guidance together in one place, the website helps stakeholders understand and apply EAS requirements consistently.
The site also provides information about the purpose and development of the EAS, helping users understand the role it plays in maintaining competence across the electrotechnical sector.
