Low Voltage License Oregon

trees

In Oregon, individuals and companies performing low voltage work, such as access control, fire alarms, video surveillance, and security systems, must obtain a license through the Construction Contractors Board (CCB). The state requires different types of licenses for different type of work, such as electrical, low voltage and alarms.

To obtain a low voltage license in Oregon, individuals must first meet the following qualifications:

  • Be at least 18 years of age
  • Have a minimum of four years of experience in the low voltage field
  • Pass a criminal background check

Once these qualifications are met, individuals must then pass an exam administered by the CCB. The exam covers topics such as safety, electrical codes, and industry standards.

In addition to the low voltage license, individuals may also need to obtain additional certifications for specific specialties. For example, those working with fire alarms must obtain a Fire Alarm Systems Contractor certification, and those working with structured cabling must obtain a Communications Systems Contractor certification.

To take the exam, individuals must first register through the CCB website. The website also provides additional information on the licensing process, including application forms and study materials.

It is important to note that low voltage work can be dangerous and should only be performed by licensed professionals. Failure to obtain a license can result in hefty fines and penalties.
