Order EFD/374/2026, of 14 April, updating certain professional competence standards for various professional families

Order EFD/374/2026 updates the professional competence standards contained in the National Catalogue of Professional Competence Standards for several professional families (ref. BOE index). This provision amends and repeals annexes of multiple previous Royal Decrees regulating qualifications in sectors such as electricity, chemistry, construction, textiles, and transport, among others. The objective is to align professional competences with the current needs of productive sectors.

In 2 key points

  1. Update of standards in professional families including Agriculture, Electricity, Chemistry, Textiles, and Transport, among others (Título oficial)
  2. Amendment of multiple Royal Decrees regulating professional qualifications across various sectors (ref. indice BOE)

How it affects those involved

For vocational training centres, it necessitates adapting curricula and teaching programmes to the newly updated competence standards. For companies in the affected sectors (such as chemical, mechanical, textile, or electrical industries), the regulation ensures that workforce qualifications meet current technical requirements. While no direct sanctions are established, failure to update training programmes could affect the validity of the qualifications issued.
