At the beginning of 2015 the Construction Leadership Council announced via the Industrial Strategy 2025:

Industry, including trade associations, contractors, clients and government, should specify and promote card schemes displaying the CSCS logo with no equivalents accepted. This is known as the One Industry Logo action.

How to qualify

The CLC has a number of recommendations for a card scheme to qualify for the CSCS logo, which include:

  • Agreeing appropriate qualifications for each occupation
  • Setting a minimum standard for skilled occupations at NVQ/SVQ Level 2
  • The requirement for all logoed cards to be Smart and compatible with CSCS Smart Check without the need to manually enter data by 31 March 2025

The CSCS Alliance

Thirty-seven card schemes from across construction and the Built Environment are licensed to carry the CSCS logo. These schemes are known collectively as the CSCS Alliance and adhere to CLC guidelines as part of their license requirements.
