Understanding ECO4 eligibility is essential if you want to benefit from free or heavily subsidised energy-saving upgrades such as insulation or heating improvements.

ECO4 runs until March 2026, making now the ideal time to check if you qualify.

This market, which encompasses the systems, standards, and processes designed to detect potential failures and trigger corrective actions to prevent harm, is the invisible shield protecting people, assets, and the environment. Far from being a mere compliance issue, functional safety is now a fundamental growth driver and a core component of digital trust in the era of Industry 4.0.

The primary market driver is the inherent danger introduced by automation…
