NEWS n THE AEMT (Association of Electrical and Mechanical Trades) has introduced its first Codes of Practice, intended to support its members in delivering a high-quality service, while reassuring customers that the members maintain and repair electromechanical equipment to the highest standards. The codes, which come into effect in late 2025, set out standards that the AEMT’s members are expected to meet in areas such as quality, expertise, integrity, sustainability, stability and safety. The aim is to set a benchmark for the industry to work against, providing trust and a mark of quality. Any members that do not currently meet the standards will be classified as “working towards” and will be able to access resources and support from the AEMT to help them comply. Members who meet the standards can self-assess their organisations as being “compliant”. On-site assessment will be required for members to gain a “verified” status. The AEMT will carry out spot check visits to ensure that standards are being maintained. “We are delighted to have formed our Codes of Practice as a key milestone in our 80th year, and I'm extremely grateful for all the effort that our members and team have put into their creation,” says the AEMT's general manager and secretary, Thomas Marks. “I believe this demonstrates that the Association and its members are aligned in the quest to deliver exceptional services wherever possible. I also believe it will give our members confidence in knowing they are running their businesses to the highest standards, and that support is there from the AEMT with any areas they are looking to develop. The AEMT, established in 1945, is an international association representing companies that manufacture, distribute, install, service, maintain, and repair, electric motors, drives, pumps, fans, gearboxes, generators, transformers, switchgear, and ancillary equipment.
