TrustMark, a government-endorsed quality scheme for trades and home improvement work in the UK, has announced the addition of The Electric Vehicle Consumer Code for Home Chargepoints (EVCC) as its latest Scheme Provider.
With this new partnership, TrustMark now collaborates with 42 Scheme Providers to raise standards and enhance consumer protection across the home repair, maintenance, and improvement (RMI) sector.
EVCC is the first Scheme Provider to be approved by TrustMark in the electric vehicle (EV) chargepoint sector, which, the company claims, “reinforces its commitment to meeting and maintaining the operating requirements set out by the quality scheme.”
EVCC members will now have the opportunity to become TrustMark registered if they meet the required standards of technical competence, trading practices, and customer service.
Virginia Graham, Chief Executive of Renewable Energy Assurance, comments, “I am delighted EVCC is officially a TrustMark Scheme Provider. This means our EVCC members now have a streamlined route to becoming TrustMark registered where they wish to.
“EVCC’s alignment with TrustMark complements our core mission to ensure that consumers receive honest advice, transparent pricing, reliable installations, and redress if things go wrong. With this new status, EVCC will continue working closely with industry stakeholders to uphold rigorous standards and support the transition to a green transport future.”
Simon Ayers MBE, CEO of TrustMark, adds, “We are delighted to welcome EVCC as our latest TrustMark Scheme Provider with a focus on raising the high standards of consumer protection and industry best practice across the EV charging sector.
“As a TrustMark Registered Business, EVCC members will now be able to give their customers the assurance and confidence that they are competent, qualified, and reliable, and serious about offering high standards of consumer protection. Together with EVCC, we can continue to strengthen our roles at the forefront of industry standards and help promote its installers to homeowners across the UK.”
