The EAS and EASQ registration classes are merging into a single class. From 1 September 2026, the limits of work for the EAS registration class will be extended to include disconnection and reconnection.
The EASQ registration class was revoked by the EWRB on 4 August 2025. If you currently hold the EASQ registration class, you can continue to work as usual. Once the new EAS work limits take effect, the EWRB will help you transfer to the EAS registration class.
You can no longer apply for the EASQ registration class, and the examination offered by Aspeq Limited for the EASQ is no longer available. If you have recently passed this examination, you may use your result to apply for registration as an EAS.
These changes are effective from 1 September 2025 and apply to both programmes:
