ACE scheme drives up standards
26 February 2015
In a bid to drive up the standards of actuator installation and maintenance within the controls industry, AUMA UK is introducing the ACE (AUMA Certified Engineering) Technician Certification Scheme.

Split into three levels, the training and accreditation programme is targeted at actuator technicians working for both customers and independent controls contractors.
The scheme, spearheaded by the specialists in modular electric actuation, addresses the fact that there are no formal standards for SQEP (Suitably Qualified and Experienced Persons) working on-site with actuators and valve control systems.
"As systems become ever more complex, we are increasingly getting calls from customers whose actuators have been incorrectly installed or operated. If you buy a ‘top of the range’ car you would expect to have it serviced at a franchised dealer where the technicians have been trained on your particular model: it should be the same for actuators,” said Paul Hopkins, AUMA UK’s managing director.
