The ISCVE has created an Assessment Scheme to offer organisations a source of competent individuals and companies who can test and assess hearing loops for correct operation and performance.

Many surveys carried out by support organisations such as Action on Hearing Loss, report  hearing loops (often referred to as Audio Frequency Induction Loop Systems – AFILS), are frequently badly installed or maintained. Having a correctly installed and operational Induction Loop system is important.

ISCVE Supporting Members and ISCVE Fellow, Member, Senior Technician and Technician grades are eligible to join the Hearing Loop Assessment Scheme to provide hearing loop system testing for non-working hearing loop systems.

ISCVE members who are accredited and registered on the Hearing Loop Assessment Scheme shall take full responsibility for the technical quality of the work performed.  They are competent and trained in the latest techniques and practices and have passed one ISCVE Hearing Loop Systems training course, have evidence of three recent successful Hearing Loop System installations, with confirmation by the client of satisfaction, or are former members of BSI committee EPL100–1 (the BS 7594 committee) or TC29 MT20 or former or current members of TC29 WG22 (the IEC committees).
