MCS Standards
MCS Technical Working Groups
develop the MCS standards, which
are predominantly based on
international and European
standards already in existence.
Installer Standards
Installer certification includes assessing the supply, design, installation, set-to-work, and commissioning of renewable microgeneration technologies. Similar to the Gas Safe Register, the MCS gives installers a mark of quality and demonstrates to the consumer that the installation will be completed to the highest quality every time. Approved guidance and reference materials to be used with the standards below can be found here.
