Independent Rating Agency

WHO ARE WE?

From SERECT to CETé - 20 years in the field, a rating agency.

Four independent live working (TST) experts from SERECT founded CETé - Consortium Experts Techniques Électricité - to objectively measure electrical risk management with a structured and transparent rating system.

Our Story

THE CETé CONSORTIUM

In 1962, SERECT was created to promote and develop Live Working (TST) in France. In 2000, EDF generalized TST audits across EDF units on a 4-year cycle. In 2008, visits to ERDF contractor companies began. ENEDIS generalized field audits at their contractor companies in 2014.

In 2019, former SERECT experts founded their consulting firm and created an international observatory for electrical risk management. They identified a gap: no independent rating system existed.

In 2026, they created CETé, a fully independent rating agency with the ambition of becoming the reference electrical risk rating agency in France and internationally, and a recognized influencer in sharing best practices for electrical risk prevention.

Independence. Objectivity. Transparency.
