A new Electronic Certification System (ECS) is to be launched by Safe Electric, ushering in a new era of efficiency and digital innovation for Registered Electrical Contractors (RECs) across the Republic of Ireland. As the statutory regulatory scheme overseeing electrical contractors with respect to safety, Safe Electric ensures RECs adhere to national safety standards and technical rules. The introduction of ECS represents a significant transformation and will replace both the existing Electronic Completion Certificates and traditional paper-based processes after a transition period. With ECS, all certification documents will be prepared by a qualified certifier (QC) and validated by a principal duty holder electronically, streamlining compliance workflows and enhancing data accuracy.
WHAT WILL ECS OFFER TO RECS?
ECS will introduce a range of enhanced features designed to support RECs in managing certifications more efficiently and securely:
