What is PAS 2030 certification?

The Green Deal and ECO offers huge opportunities for PAS2030 installation companies, however there are certain accreditation and compliance measures which will need to be adopted by Green Deal / ECO installation companies. 

Firstly, Lead Contractors (those Green Deal installers who work directly with a Green Deal Provider) will need to operate a quality management system (QMS) in line with PAS2030. Those renewable energy installation companies who currently operate a Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) quality management system will be very familiar with QMS and therefore easily extend their scope to encompass the PAS2030 standards.

What is it Designed to do?  

PAS2030 certification is designed to improve the energy efficiency of existing buildings and sets the specification for the installation process, process management and service provision.  PAS 2030 is designed for installing, managing and providing energy efficiency measures (EEM) in existing buildings. It recommends best practice for managing the installation process and providing services to the customer before, during and after. It also provides measure-specific requirements (including the necessary qualifications) for each individual type of measure.
