The Electrical Certification Scheme (ECS) has collaborated with KNX UK to introduce an ECS card specifically for KNX Integrators.
Eligibility for this card requires KNX certification and membership of KNX UK to demonstrate competency and professionalism. This enables the integration of multiple controls into a single platform, while systems built on this protocol benefit from the support of over 500 manufacturers. All qualified KNX Certified Integrators are eligible to join KNX UK for an annual fee and get fast-tracked online access to ECS cards along with other benefits, including discounted professional liability insurance, quality mark via the KNX UK Code of Conduct and practical tools for running successful projects from day one.
The card is developed and supported by more than 200 organisations and encompasses an array of 75 occupations, including electricians, fire and safety specialists, telecoms experts, AV integrators, cyber security professionals and now KNX Integrators. The CSCS Alliance, the partnership between the 38 schemes licensed to use the CSCS logo, currently covers 2.1 million workers.
ECS (and the CSCS logo) is backed by trade associations, local authorities, NHS Trusts, housing associations and house builders, energy generators, and data centres. The development of the KNX UK ECS card is a collaborative effort spearheaded by the Joint Industry Board & Electrotechnical Certification Scheme and KNX UK, a non-profit members association for KNX Professionals in the UK.
