At the latest meeting of the Certification Scheme Committee (the committee that provides the program oversight), the committee voted unanimously to adopt a new code of conduct that all certified personnel must adhere to. The new code of conduct, drafted by ECS and accepted by the committee, outlines the high level of standards and work ethics that certified personnel are expected to adopt.

"The adoption of this new standard illustrates the commitment that the program and the oversight committee has towards improving quality and maintaining a safe work environment in the post-tensioning industry," stated Jim Rogers, Managing Director of the certification committee.  The new document is titled Requirements for Certified Personnel, and can be viewed and downloaded from the program's web site.

All new applicants will be required to acknowledge the new code of conduct and must agree to abide with the requirements it contains. Existing certification holders will also be notified of the new requirements and encouraged to abide by them until their certification must be renewed, at which time acceptance of the new code will also be a renewal requirement .
