Initially the CSCS (which is now ECS) was only concerned with data communications not telecommunications. The EUSR telecommunications SHEA card which now displays the CSCS holographic symbol allows access to construction sites that requires CSCS (ECS), however, some sites will still only accept the ECS card.

​

There are plans for specific accreditation's and qualifications to be added to the telecommunications SHEA card this is still work in progress and more information will be released from EUSR in the future.
