Scheme Governance

MCS itself is an EN45011 Scheme which is focussed on ensuring the quality of renewable technology installations and products. It was launched in 2008 and has been developed over the last four years. It is an industry led and funded scheme. MCS is structured as follows:

MCS currently has 10 different Technical Working Groups. The MCS Technical Working Groups develop the MCS Standards and Scheme documents which are based on international and European standards already in existence. As well as this, many members of the Technical Working Groups sit on European committees to develop the European Standards. This helps to harmonise MCS with existing EN Standards and ensure that the MCS Standards and Scheme documents are all kept up to date accordingly.
