The ECS Steering Committee was formed in 2003. The Electrotechnical Certification Scheme
(ECS) is administered in England, Wales and Northern Ireland by the JIB and in Scotland by the SJIB. The Committee's membership reflects the joint administration and ensures the ECS is developed nationally. The Committee's role is to oversee the current mechanisms and all future development of the Electrotechnical Certification Scheme and the ECS Health and Safety Assessment. Any appeals generated by the ECS Health and Safety Assessment are adjudicated by the ECS Steering Committee. This brief description of the Committee's role includes:

- Development of new ECS Disciplines

- Liaison with trade bodies covered by ECS Disciplines

- Monitoring of the ECS and CSCS affiliation agreement

- Amendments to the design of the ECS Card

- Licensing of ECS Health and Safety Assessments Centres
