1. An eligible installation is an MCS-certified installation if it is certified under—
(a)the MCS and installed in accordance with the relevant installation standard in the scheme; or
(b)a scheme where—
(i)installers are certified to that scheme’s standards by an organisation accredited to EN 45011(2) or EN ISO/IEC 17065:2012(3);
(ii)the plant is installed in accordance with the installation standards applicable to the plant under that scheme on the plant’s first commissioning date and which are equivalent to a relevant installation standard; and
(iii)that scheme is equivalent to the Microgeneration Certification Scheme.
2. In paragraph 1, “relevant installation standard” means—
(a)if the commissioning date for the installation is on or after 15th January 2016, if the installation is—
(i)a solar photovoltaic installation, version 3.3 of the document entitled Microgeneration Installation Standard: MIS 3002 requirements for MCS contractors undertaking the supply, design, installation, set to work commissioning and handover of solar-photovoltaic (PV) microgeneration systems,
(ii)a wind installation, version 3.4 of the document entitled Microgeneration Installation Standard: MIS 3003 requirements for MCS contractors undertaking the supply, design, installation, set to work commissioning and handover of micro and small wind turbine systems,
(iii)a heat-led combined heat and power installation, version 3.2 of the document entitled Microgeneration Installation Standard: MIS 3007 requirements for MCS contractors undertaking the design, supply, installation, set to work, commissioning and handover of a heating system containing and micro-cogeneration package; or
(iv)an electricity-led combined heat and power installation, version 2.3 of the document entitled Microgeneration Installation Standard: MIS 3007-2 requirements for MCS contractors undertaking the design, supply, installation, set to work, commissioning and handover of a domestic hot water system combining an electricity led micro-cogeneration package; or
(b)if the commissioning date for the installation is before the 15th January 2016, any installation requirements applicable to the installation under the MCS on the installation’s commissioning date.
3. When exercising any functions under this Order, the Authority may treat the certification of an eligible installation in accordance with this Schedule as evidence that the installation is installed in accordance with a relevant installation standard or a standard which is equivalent to a relevant installation standard.
4. In this Schedule, “MCS” means the Microgeneration Certification Scheme.”
