ECA Guarantee of Work Scheme
The ECA Guarantee – A free benefit for ECA Members
The ECA Guarantee of Work provides a free benefit to the clients of ECA Members. If, once completed, works covered are discovered to be non-compliant with relevant technical standards, the works will be reinstated to be compliant with the relevant standards.
The ECA Guarantee of Work Scheme automatically applies to all Members’ work and, subject to its terms and conditions, removes the need to enter into an insurance-backed ‘warranty’ contract.
The Guarantee of Work Scheme is Part P and TrustMark compliant.
An ECA Guarantee of Works Certificate (including terms and conditions) is available for Members to download to issue to their customers.
Features of the ECA Guarantee – which is FREE and AUTOMATICALLY APPLICABLE
- Guarantees the technical compliance of electrotechnical materials and work carried out for a price between £250-£50,000. in United Kingdom, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.
- Electrotechnical work covers lighting and electrical wiring equipment, installations and all kinds of apparatus for the generation, transmission, utilisation or storage of electricity.
