These high standards ensure customers and end users are able to benefit from high quality, TEC equipment. As mentioned on the TSA website, TEC Quality’s aim is to ensure that ‘quality and safety’ is at the heart and centre of everything within the TEC sector.

The TSA Quality Standards Framework offers Technology Enabled Care service providers and suppliers a way of demonstrating safety and quality. Furthermore, the framework offers commissioners much needed assurance in an otherwise unregulated industry.
