1 The Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) Richard Phillips BRE Global

2 Benefits of Microgeneration Systems When correctly designed, manufactured and installed micro renewable systems can: Provide a useful proportion of a building s energy demand Help reduce CO 2 emissions Help achieve higher sustainability ratings (e.g. for BREEAM and CSH) Help satisfy planners and home owners expectations for sustainability Be good value for clients and taxpayers money Enhance the reputation of the industry Encourage uptake

3 Why MCS? Replacement needed for Clear Skies and PV schemes More robust Protect reputation of the industry UKAS accreditation Independent Protect consumers by providing robust criteria for: Quality of products Quality of installations Mitigate Risks

4 Risks Things can go wrong! Little knowledge amongst homeowners Poor performance can Increase running costs Cause discomfort Reduce, or even reverse, emissions savings Poor design and installation can: Be unsafe Reduce system performance Damage the building envelope Any of the above could turn a positive vision into a negative image

5 The Microgeneration Certification Scheme MCS Mark: MCS mark owned by Secretary of State (DECC) Mark licensed to Gemserv (MCS administrator) Sub licensed to Certification bodies Certification bodies issue mark to certificated companies

6 The Microgeneration Certification Scheme UKAS DECC Gemserv MCS Steering Group Technical Working groups etc Stakeholders: Industry Trade assoc.s Consumer groups Grant bodies DECC Certification bodies Scheme documents & standards etc UCAS Etc. etc. Certificated companies

7 The MCS Installer Scheme Certification of companies not individuals Scope Design, supply, installation, set to work, commissioning and handover of microgeneration systems Assessments conducted in two parts: Office Assessment MCS 001 Quality control Membership of an OFT approved consumer code of conduct (e.g. REAL) On-site Installation Assessment Technology specific installation standard (MIS 300X) Estimate of annual energy performance Certification is maintained through surveillance assessments (usually annually)

8 MCS Simply Explained Say what you do, Have written procedures do what you say, Follow your procedures prove it. Get MCS certification

9 Office Assessment Quality manual appropriate to the business Don t be intimidated! A small business probably doesn t need a complex quality manual (but a large one might) Feedback suggests a good quality manual improves the business Needs to be a controlled document Formal approval & sign-off = ownership Issue number and date Singing from the same hymn sheet

10 Office Assessment Assesses procedures for a number of activities including: Who is responsible for each activity Document control e.g. keeping up with changes in regulations and standards Customer contracts Very important Equipment and calibration Training and competence Written procedures ensure quality and consistency Full requirements are detailed in MCS001 Annex A, Table 1

11 On-site Assessment Technology specific installation standards Assessment of competence to install, not the installation itself Proof of knowledge and competence Needs to be a recent installation completed by the installer

12 The MCS Product Scheme Scheme covers: Solar Collectors (MCS 004) Solar Photovoltaic Modules (MCS 005) Micro and Small Wind Turbines (MCS 006) Heat Pumps (MCS 007) Biomass (MCS 008) Heat-led Micro-cogeneration Packages (MCS 014) Fuel Cells and Micro Hydro are in preparation Scope Not exceeding 50kW for electricity generators Not exceeding 45kW for heat

13 The MCS Product Scheme Product approval is generally in two parts: Technical evaluation Review of test reports Checks on the validity & completeness Establish build status of product(s) Factory production control Quality management system Consistency of manufacture of certificated products Annual surveillance Change control

14 Product Testing Acceptance criteria for test reports described in MCS 011 UKAS or equivalent test laboratories Testing must be in scope of accreditation Unaccredited independent test laboratories or manufacturers own testing facilities: Assessment of laboratory by certification body Confirmation of correct equipment, procedures & competence etc. at the time of testing Witness testing

15 Certification Contractors and products that meet the relevant requirements will be MCS certificated Listing on websites e.g. Eligibility for FITs etc. Use of MCS and Certification Body marks Differentiation

16 BRE Global Certification Scheme Current status: Scheme operating for: Solar Thermal Solar PV Micro-wind Heat pumps Biomass Micro-CHP Other standards under development Full UKAS accreditation achieved 410+ installers Certificated by BRE Global Business improvements 500+ products approved Further information:

17 Summary MCS in place to underpin and enhance confidence in the industry by setting minimum requirements for: Standard of installations Product performance Installer and product schemes established Annual energy calculations Consumer code of conduct Minimum performance requirements Initial assessment followed by surveillance A number of certification bodies now operating MCS Robustness of the schemes needs to be maintained
