The E&M Industry Training Advisory Committee (ITAC) had completed the draft Specification of Competency Standards (SCS) for its 10 branches. The draft SCSs for the first 5 branches (Fire Engineering, Gas Engineering, HVAC Engineering, Plumbing Engineering and Railway E&M Engineering) went through industry consultation in 2008. Under the steer of the "Specification of Competency Standards (SCS)" Subcommittee of the E&M ITAC, the Professional Writer has revised the draft SCS in the light of comments collected during the consultation period. With the endorsement of E&M ITAC, the first version of SCS can now be downloaded from this website.

For SCS of the remaining 5 branches (Aircraft Maintenance Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Lift & Escalator Engineering, Plant Engineering (Mechanical) and Ship Repair Engineering), the industry-wide consultation was completed in early 2010 and the draft SCS can be downloaded from this website.
